Geo dispersion

February 23rd, 2020, 1:24 pm

Hi all,

Geometric Dispersion is becoming the new trendy product among institutional investors - 10s of millions of Vega are traded every year on this product. It consists in buying individual vol swap on stocks and selling vol swap on the basket of stocks.

How would you model a vol swap on a basket of names ?

Volswap or varswap?

Btw, probably not a numerical methods forum question.
