Dispersion trading via Var Swaps

May 26th, 2004, 2:45 pm

Does anyone know the convention (assuming there is one) for quoting on a var swap dispersion trade - i.e. buying/selling the index var swap vs the opposite on te the component var swaps. For example, would the quote be the difference between the index var swap strike and the vega weighted average of the compnents?Thanks in advance
