Program Description:
The Systematic Volatility Arbitrage (VolArb) strategy takes a multi-strategy approach in the equity index volatility market. It trades (1) market neutral calendar spreads in VIX Index futures and (2) VIX Index futures versus the S&P 500 Index futures to arbitrage the equity market volatility risk premium. Additionally, it takes directional intraday momentum trades in equity index futures (3) and VIX Index futures (4). The investment process is systematic and based on Deep Field Capital's proprietary volatility estimation model, taking into consideration the volatility surface and VIX Index term-structure. Order execution is fully systematic and automated. The strategy is available via a SMA and other structures upon request.
