Implied Volatility of Leveraged ETF Options: Consistency and Scaling
Tim Siu-Tang Leung
(Colombia University)
Abstract
The growth of the exchange-traded fund (ETF) industry has given rise to the trading of options written on ETFs and their leveraged counterparts (LETFs). Motivated by a number of empirical market observations, we study the relationship between the ETF and LETF implied volatility surfaces under general stochastic volatility models. Analytic approximations for prices and implied volatilities are derived for LETF options, along with rigorous error bounds. In these price and IV expressions, we identify their non-trivial dependence on the leverage ratio. Moreover, we introduce a "moneyness scaling" procedure to enhance the comparison of implied volatilities across leverage ratios, and test it with empirical price data.
