LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 23, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ --
The use of global volatility and equity derivatives products and instruments will increase at a faster rate among investors in Europe and Asia than those based in the Americas over the next 12 months, according to global hedge funds and institutional investors, as set out in EQDerivatives' latest Equity & Volatility Derivatives Report - "Real Flows, Real Views." Variance and volatility swaps, dispersion and correlation were identified by investors as instruments primed for further growth going forward, with global hedge funds and institutional investors collectively expecting to expand their usage of equity derivative and volatility products by 43% over the next 12 months. The key findings of the report cover the increasing demand for investors for sellside modelling of strategies, a requirement for the creation of a liquid Asia Pacific volatility product as well as calls for improvements in settlement processes for some listed volatility products. The latest report also includes an ‘Alpha-Seeking Review' - relating to an institution's allocation of derivatives to alpha seeking strategies. In terms of rankings by hedge funds and institutional investors of banks, Societe Generale, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, UBS and BNP Paribas all ranked highly across specific regions and products.
