In a #ThrowbackThursday of sorts, we’re bringing you an episode recorded pre-pandemic where we hit the road and traveled to Utah to interview the brain behind Certeza Asset Management, Founder and CIO – Brett Nelson.
Brett is another guest deserving of the moniker VIXpert – having been trading the VIX since it first entered the game, literally trading VIX back when there were a few dozen contracts a day changing hands.
We’ll be covering everything VIX (along with non-VIX topics) including: skiing in Salt Lake, pure volatility futures, being a math nerd, the left and right tail, 19 y/o quant financing, the Spanish pronunciation of Certeza, trading the VIX since inception, term structure, gaming the VIX, proprietary algos, and the best resorts in Utah.
