Volatility futures provide investors the ability to act on their opinion of stock market volatility direction and magnitude. Stock market volatility became a tradable part of the investment landscape in March 2004, with the introduction of futures on the CBOE Volatility Index®, or VIX®, at the CBOE Futures Exchange. The CBOE developed the VIX in 1993, and it measures market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by stock index option prices.
