1 STRATEGY INDICES EURO STOXX® 50 VOLATILITY (VSTOXX 360 DAYS) INDEX Stated objective Key facts The EURO STOXX 50® indices provide a key measure of market expectations of near-term up to long-term volatility based on the EURO STOXX 50 options prices. The EURO STOXX 50 Index is a Blue-chip representation of sector leaders in the Eurozone. Part of a consistent family of volatility indices: VSTOXX based on the EURO STOXX 50 Index, VDAX-NEW® based on the DAX® and VSMI® based on the SMI®. Rules-based and transparent methodology, jointly developed by Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Börse AG. Calculation of the VSTOXX family is directly derived from the prices of the underlying EURO STOXX 50 options. The 12 VSTOXX, rolling indices of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330 and 360 days to expiration, are derived via linear interpolation of the two nearest subindices.
