Abstract
Is volatility the “perfect asset” to add to an equity portfolio? Has the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) been a useful market signal and guide to future market direction? Does the VIX Index have the potential to be a powerful tool in investors' asset allocation and hedging decisions? Some recent literature has explored these issues, and this article will provide some evidence to help readers answer these questions.
