Description
“Vol Term” is a volatility risk factor that captures the risk of speculating on a piece of the vol surface.
The factor is proxied by going long a basket of mid-term vix futures and short a basket of front-month vix futures with the goal of neutralizing much of the volatility exposure of the factor.
