We propose to consider the VVIX index as a tail risk indicator.
•
The VVIX index has strong predictability for tail risk hedging returns.
•
An increase in the VVIX index raises current prices of tail risk hedging options and lowers their subsequent returns.
•
The predictability can be explained by time-varying crash risk or uncertainty premiums.
