Despite high correlation, CBOE Russell 2000® PutWrite Index (PUTRSM) substantially outperforms CBOE Russell 2000® BuyWrite Index (BXRSM)
Differences in methodology between the PUTR and BXR matter a great deal and explain the performance difference

Detailed discussions of the methodology applied for both indexes is available in the respective white papers on Cboe’s website:http://www.cboe.com/products/strategy-benchmark-indexes/buywrite-indexes/cboe-russell-2000-buywrite-index-bxrhttp://www.cboe.com/products/strategy-benchmark-indexes/putwrite-indexes/cboe-russell-2000-putwrite-index-putr
BXR & PUTR Index Methodologies Compared
BXR PUTR
Exposure• Long Russell 2000 Index (RUT)
• Short 1M RUT at-the-money call option
• 1M Treasury Bill (Cash)
• Short 1M RUT at-the-money put option
Dividends • Re-invested in BXR “units” on dividend “ex-dates”• No dividends to re-invest; expected dividend
priced into put option
Option Roll
• 3rd Friday every month
• Expiring option settles to cash based on Special Opening Quotation (“SOQ”) of RUT
• New option strike based on RUT level at 11 a.m. ET
• New call struck just above RUT 11 a.m. ET level
• 3rd Friday every month
• Expiring option settles to cash based on Special Opening Quotation (“SOQ”) of RUT
• New option strike based on RUT level at 11 a.m. ET
• New put struck just below RUT 11 a.m. ET level
Option Sale
• Deemed sold based on 30-minute VWAP from 11:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon
• Deemed sold based on 30-minute VWAP from 11:30 a.m. – 12:00 noon
7
Strike prices for RUT call and put options are not the same
• Call strike for BXR just above RUT level at 11 a.m. ET; call is slightly out of the money
• Put strike for PUTR just below RUT level at 11 a.m. ET; put is slightly out of the money
• PUTR put implied volatility is consistently higher than BXR call implied volatility
Option Roll Mechanics & Expiration Day Effects
• Historically, SOQ for index options has exhibited an upward bias
• Dealers, market makers tend to be sellers of index puts and buyers of index calls, making them long the market
• Unwinding hedges at expiration tends to create buy imbalances in stocks

Exploring BXR & PUTR Methodology Differences

Analysis based on data from May 2006 through August 2017Source: Cboe Multi Asset Solutions
Expiration Day Effects
BXR PUTR
Expiration Day Return Calculation
• RBXR, EXP = RA x RB x RC ;where
• RA = Return from previous close to SOQ
• RB = Return from SOQ to VWAP option sale – long stock position uncovered
• RC = Return from VWAP option sale to expiration day close
• RPUTR, EXP = RA x “RGAP” x RB ;where
• RA = Return from previous close to SOQ
• “RGAP”= Period from SOQ to VWAP option sale –cash position uncovered
• RB = Return from VWAP option sale to expiration day close
BXR PUTR
RA (Option On) 0.081% 0.058%
RB or RGAP (Option Off) -0.282% 0.000
RC (Option On) 0.089% 0.039%
Expiration Day Return - R -0.117% 0.097%
CBOE® Applied Academics TYVIX/VIX® -based Asset Rotation Strategy (Stabilis)
10
CBOE/CBOT 10-Year US Treasury Note Volatility Index (TYVIX)
• TYVIX is the conceptual analogue of VIX for the US Treasury market: a transparent benchmark measuring the fair market value of constant 30-day forward volatility of the benchmark 10-year US Treasury Note futures prices implied by options on 10-year US Treasury Note futures
Morgan Stanley High Yield+ Index (ticker: “MSUSHP5T Index”)
• A long-only, rules-based strategy which aims to generate a return by applying dynamic allocation between the iShares iBoxx H/Y Corporate Bond Fund (ticker: HYG), iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (ticker: TLT) and a Cash Rate.1
CBOE® Applied Academics TYVIX/VIX® - based Asset Rotation Strategy (Stabilis)
• Stabilis is a conceptual analogue to the Morgan Stanley High Yield+ Index that applies a dynamic allocation between SPDR® S&P 500® ETF (ticker: SPY), iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (ticker: AGG), iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (ticker: IEF) and cash based on the levels of VIX and TYVIX.
• It is beneficial to use implied volatility indices for timing asset allocation because the relative movement of equity and bond implied volatilities has historically predicted the relative performance among major asset classes.

A simple high/low volatility regime model effectively captures VIX spikes.

Volatility Regimes: Separating markets by volatility regimes
The regimes are defined based on upward- and downward-crossings of rolling upper and lower quantiles of VIX and TYVIX.
More details can be found at:http://us.spindices.com/documents/research/research-market-timing-with-implied-volatility-indices.pdf

The simple volatility regimes effectively separate returns in an economically intuitive way. In the LL (“normal”) regime, equities perform best, followed by corporates then Treasuries, and the order is reversed in the HH regime. In the HL regime, equities perform well while fixed income does not, and Treasuries do better than corporates in the LH regime.

VIX ETP Market Review
16
Top 5 ETPs account for approximately 75% of assets and the top 10 ETPs account for over 95%
There are four strategies that are the most popular: long constant 30-day VIX future (VXX*), 2X long 30-day VIX future (TVIX, UVXY*), short 30-day VIX future (XIV, SVXY*) and conditional 30-day VIX future (PHDG,VQT)
Two structures of VIX ETPs have different effects on VIX futures market (ETF vs. ETN)
Distribution of ETP assets is highly volatile and depends on market factors such as level of VIX and shape of VIX term structure
Over $5 Billion in ETP assets influence VIX futures market…
