I was speaking with a few colleagues this week about dispersion trading. I though I had a basic understanding of what a dispersion trade was, but as we talked about it - I said to myself; it seems just like stat arb for volatility.
So, this weekend, as Gabe is sitting next to me playing his Legend of Zelda; I found this article @ Risk Latte. It says essentially what i thought - and even calls dispersion trading “volatility arbitrage”. I will not re-explain what the article says infinitely better than I could, but I thought it was interesting how simply connecting a concept you know to something you vaguely understand solidifies the understanding.
It is amazing how much I know that I do not know
