Hedge Funds Are Shorting the VIX Again

With the VIX dipping to 15.32 and the VVIX at 86.06, hedge funds are piling into short volatility trades again. Lucas and Luna unpack why this setup feels different from 2018 — and how funds are hedging their downside this time around. They discuss the risk of a tail-event spike, the role of zero-day options, and how one multistrat fund is pairing VIX shorts with tail-risk puts. A focused look at how sophisticated investors are navigating the sixth straight month of compressed vol without getting complacent. #VIX #VVIX #Volatility #ShortVolatility #HedgeFunds #TailRisk #ZeroDayOptions #OptionsTrading #RiskManagement #Finance #Investing #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #AlternativeInvestments #Derivatives #MarketCrash #VolatilityArbitrage #InstitutionalInvestors Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
