The RealVol Concept

RealVol has developed RealVol™ Instruments and RealVol Indices based on realized volatility as defined by the RealVol Formulas.  Realized volatility measures movement of an underlying asset regardless of direction, and is functionally different than implied volatility metrics.  RealVol Indices focus on 40 key global assets and segregate risk into 40 styles (1,600 in total), encompassing six time frames, five formulas, and two forecasting models. In the future, RealVol Instruments may be listed on a wide variety of underlying assets, as they are designed for every major marketplace:  futures, options, securities, and over-the-counter.
