Volatility ((See Chapter 18 of the Vernimmen))Volatility of the value (or the rate of return) of a financial security characterises the amplitude of the fluctuations of this value (or return). Mathematically, volatility is the variance or the standard deviation. In a market economy, volatility measures the risk: the riskier a financial security, the higher its volatility, and vice versa.
