A general framework for a joint calibration of VIX and VXX options

15 Dec 2020  ·  Martino Grasselli, Andrea Mazzoran, Andrea Pallavicini ·

We analyze the VIX futures market with a focus on the exchange-traded notes written on such contracts, in particular we investigate the VXX notes tracking the short-end part of the futures term structure. Inspired by recent developments in commodity smile modelling, we present a multi-factor stochastic-local volatility model that is able to jointly calibrate plain vanilla options both on VIX futures and VXX notes, thus going beyond the failure of purely stochastic or simply local volatility models. We discuss numerical results on real market data by highlighting the impact of model parameters on implied volatilities.
