Q: Hi Folks
I read in Bloomberg "investors are pricing in expectations of higher volatility around the elections ... In the stock market, investors have been purchasing volatility protection extending beyond November."
Can you please guide me what that volatility protection purchasing would actually be ? Is volatility protection only for investors who don't want to stomach the turbulence, or is there a broader interest in it? Many thanks for sharing your market wisdom.

Q: hello 5i Research team,
Probably a very easy question: who are the “Jorday Group” and Ussel in the CSU spinoff? How would you rate them as significant shareholders? Do current Topicus.com B.V. CEO Daan Dijkhuizen who will be appointed CEO, and current TSS head Robin van Poelje future Chair have good pedigree?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric
