As the trading volume in TURKDEX, the first and only options and futures exchange in Turkey, increases, it becomes more important to have an understanding of the effect of stock index futures trading on the underlying spot market volatility. In this respect, this thesis analyzes the effect of ISE-National 30 index futures contract trading on the underlying stocks’ volatility. In this thesis, spot portfolio volatility is decomposed into two components and this decomposition is applied to a single-factor return-generating model to focus on the relationships among the volatility components rather than on the components in isolation. In order to measure the average volatility and the cross-sectional dispersion of the component securities and the portfolio volatility for each day in the sample period, a simple filtering procedure to recover a series of realized volatilities from a discrete time realization of a continuous time diffusion process is used. Results reveal that inception of futures trading has no significant effect on the volatility of the underlying ISE National 30 index stock market.

Local volatility model applied to BIST30 european warrants: pricing and hedging Kirazoğlu, Zekiye Sıla; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) One of the basic observations on pricing options is that the assumption of constant volatility does not agree with data and market price data gives a volatility smile that depends on maturities and strike prices. The ﬁrst model that developed to be compatible with this observation is the local volatility model. The purpose of this work is to study the performance of the local volatility model on BIST30 warrants and compare it to the standard Black Scholes model. To estimate the local volatility model from d...
