Re: Volatility Swap Hedging

May 23rd, 2018, 3:02 am

What are the hedging methods for volatility swap (rather than variance swap)? What are the possibilities of setting up a static, semi-static or dynamic hedging? 
Check out this post on consistent valuation and risk management of vol derivatives and vanilla options:

That looks interesting. Is there a technical paper on your valuation and risk mgt method or is it proprietary?

We don't have any paper in the public domain at the moment. There are several components which are important:
1) Robust fitting of parametric bias-free and arbitrage volatility surfaces. With a vol surface one can price a log contract.
2) Estimation of the distribution for the variance. 
3) Volatility dynamics, i.e. how a vol surface moves when the underlier moves.

pm me if you want to discuss offline.
