The South African Volatility Index (SAVI) Top 40 is a forecast of South Africa’s Equity Market risk.  It is modelled on the VIX, a popular measure for the volatility of the S&P 500. The SAVI Top 40 enables investors to gauge positive or negative market sentiment in the Equity Market. When volatility is low, there is a measure of complacency or lack of fear in the market. When volatility is high, there fear in the market, which makes large market moves more likely.

The SAVI Top 40 is forward-looking index that provides a daily prediction of market volatility in three months’ time. It is calculated using implied volatilities obtained daily from specific Top 40 options.

Who should use this?

The index itself is a transparent indicator of market sentiment and not a tradable product.

Market commentators, economists, traders and investors interested in identifying market patterns may refer to the SAVI Top 40. Those interested in taking a trading position on volatility can trade variance futures accessed through an Equity Derivatives member.
