Shortfall from Maximum Convexity

Statistical Finance 2015-10-06 v1

Abstract

We review the dynamics of the returns of Leveraged Exchange Traded Funds (LETFs) and propose a new measure of realized volatility: Shortfall from Maximum Convexity. We show that SMC has a more intuitive interpretation and provides more statistical information compared to the traditionally used sample standard deviation when applied to LETF returns, a dataset where normality and independence do not hold.
