In this whitepaper, we examine prior transition periods from low-volatility to high-volatility regimes and compare such periods to our current markets.
 
We will then answer the question: Are we transitioning from a prolonged low-volatility to a prolonged high-volatility regime?
 

Topics Include:

  1. Readings for Rolling Annualized Realized Volatility since 1950
  2. Historical Analysis of ‘Trough to Spike’ periods for Volatility
  3. Monthly S&P Returns Across Realized Volatility Quartiles
  4. VIX Levels and Trends in Transition – 1990 to Present
