We investigate whether the volatility risk premium is negative by examining the statistical properties of delta-hedged option portfolios (buy the option and hedge with stock). Within a stochastic volatility framework, we demonstrate a correspondence between the sign and magnitude of the volatility risk premium and the mean delta-hedged portfolio returns. Using a sample of S&P 500 index options, we provide emp…
Financial decision systems require fast surrogate models for pricing, calibration, hedging, XVA, stress testing, and portfolio optimization. Standard neural surrogates reproduce prices or risk quantities, but downstream tasks depend as much on derivatives: deltas, vegas, curve and credit-spread sensitivities, exposure and objective gradients. We formulate a derivative-informed operator-learning framework in which the…
