Answer:

Two ways: using VIX futures and traded notes or S&P 500 options and neutral investment strategies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volatility is a market's tendency to rise or fall sharply within short periods of time. It is usually measured using standard deviation or return on investment. There are several ways to handle market volatility. One is to use exchange-traded instruments, such as VIX future contracts and exchange traded notes. VIX provides real time estimations of greed and fear levels, as well as volatility expectations in the next 30 sessions. The other way is to use S&P 500 options and delta-neural strategies.
