S&P ardent on arbitrage

S&P has launched a family of indexes designed to model common arbitrage strategies in the financial markets. The three indexes comprise the S&P 500 Volatility Arbitrage, Currency Arbitrage and Long-Only Merger Arbitrage.

The volatility index is intended to replicate a strategy that seeks to take advantage of the difference between implied volatility and realised volatility.

The index is designed to receive implied variance and pay realised variance o the S&P 500.
