Abstract

This article explores relationships between the SPX and VIX options markets. High-strike VIX call options are used to hedge tail-risk in the SPX, which means that SPX options are sensitive to extreme-strike asymptotics of VIX options. This relationship can be quantified using moment formulas. Formulas for comparisons are presented, along with various examples of stochastic volatility.
