Main Argument
While at university, I spent two summers at the derivatives and structured products desks at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. These desks specialized in sourcing cheap volatility and reselling it at a premium. In practice, this meant buying volatility from hedge funds and packaging it into products sold to retail investors, allowing banks to capture riskless profits in the middle. How can retail investors possibly assess the fair value of volatility when most don’t even have access to an option pricing model on their computer?
