Why?: this is a good rough proxy measure to use when following volatility levels in relation to how many structures such as autocall price. Briefly, autocalls are ‘short’ volatility, meaning that one would expect an increase in the headline rate of an autocall when these volatility levels are higher.</p><p> The “knock-in put” premiums are plotted as well to show a bit more detail on the above point. The soft protection element of structures is made up of the premium gained by selling the “knock-in put”, again as a proxy we also show how this premium pickup changes over time. As expected it is highly correlated to the volatility level.</p><p>Source: Catley Lakeman, JP Morgan Derivatives and Delta One Strategy, Bloomberg</p><p>Knock-in Put prices prior to January 2011 are retrospectively priced using prevailing market data, including but not limited to interest rates, dividend yields and implied volatility curves.</p><p>Correlation</p><p>The correlations shown are realized correlationsi between main equity indices.
