This study investigates the value of two variance components and variance jumps in the pricing of VIX derivatives. In an attempt to significantly reduce the computational burden, we propose an efficient numerical technique for the pricing of VIX derivatives under the affine framework. Our empirical findings provide support for the use of two-variance component models as the means of capturing the fickle term structure of VIX derivatives, and the use of variance jumps is vital when included in the long-run variance component
