being easily excited
This describes the fluctuations in the price of a stock or other type of security If the price of a stock is capable of large swings, the stock has a high volatility The pricing of options contracts depends in part on volatility A stock with high volatility, for example, commands higher prices in the options market than one with low volatility Volatility may be gauged by several measures, one of which involves calculating a security's standard deviation Stock investors sometimes prefer to measure a stock's volatility versus that of an index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index This is known as a stock's beta A beta of 1 2 implies a stock that is 20% more volatile than the S&P 500 When the S&P rises 10%, the stock is expected to rise 12%
A measure of the amount by which an asset price is expected to fluctuate over a given period
The characteristic of a security or market to fall or rise sharply in price in a short-term period A measure of the relative volatility of a security or mutual fund to the overall market is beta A stock may be volatile because the outlook for the company is particularly uncertain, because there are only a few shares outstanding (i e , it's illiquid) or because of various other reasons See "Beta " While beta can apply to both stocks and funds, standard deviation is more widely used to measure the volatility of mutual funds Standard deviation examines a fund's range of historical returns, thus determining a portfolio's potential to swing between high and low returns See "Standard Deviation " BACK TO TOP

The state of being volatile
The sharp price movement of a security, commodity, or a market within a specified time period A measure of the volatility of a stock or mutual fund relative to the overall market is beta Thus, a mutual fund with a beta of 0 5 is half as volatile as the movement of the Standard & Poor's 500 index, while a fund with beta of 1 5 is 50 percent more volatile Generally, a stock or mutual fund with a high beta is said to have more risk than one with a low beta, since there's an increased risk that the price of the security will have fallen when an investor wants to sell

Volatility Arbitrage
(Finans) Volatility arbitrage (or vol arb) is a type of statistical arbitrage that is implemented by trading a delta neutral portfolio of an option and its underlier. The objective is to take advantage of differences between the implied volatility of the option, and a forecast of future realized volatility of the option's underlier. In volatility arbitrage, volatility is used as the unit of relative measure rather than price - that is, traders attempt to buy volatility when it is low and sell volatility when it is high
implied volatility
(Finans) In financial mathematics, the implied volatility of an option contract is the volatility implied by the market price of the option based on an option pricing model. In other words, it is the volatility that, when used in a particular pricing model, yields a theoretical value for the option equal to the current market price of that option. Non-option financial instruments that have embedded optionality, such as an interest rate cap, can also have an implied volatility. Implied volatility, a forward-looking measure, differs from historical volatility because the latter is calculated from known past returns of a security
