Abstract
This paper investigates whether the difference of implied (IV) over historical volatilities (HV) of the underlying assets predicts the future returns of equity-linked warrants (ELWs). Our findings are as follows: First, the future delta-hedged return of an ELW is lower, the lower the difference of volatilities (HV-IV). Second, in the cross-section of ELW portfolios, there is a persistent excess return earned from the highest (top 20%) over the lowest (bottom 20%) volatility groups. Third, this excess return is not well explained by existing systematic risk factors. Lastly, ELW returns are better explained by the idiosyncratic variables of ELWs like liquidity characteristics and buying pressure.
