A variance swap is an over-the-counter financial derivative that allows one to speculate on or hedge risks associated with the magnitude of movement, i.e. volatility, of some underlying product, like an exchange rate, interest rate, or stock index. One leg of the swap will pay an amount based upon the realized variance of the price changes of the underlying product. Conventionally, these price changes will be daily log returns, based upon the most commonly used closing price. The other leg of the swap will pay a fixed amount, which is the strike, quoted at the deal's inception. Thus the net payoff to the counterparties will be the difference between these two and will be settled in cash at the expiration of the deal, though some cash payments will likely be made along the way by one or the other counterparty to maintain agreed upon margin. (Wikipedia).

A variance swap can be used to hedge tail risk. One counterparty (Sally the trader, in this example) pays a forward (fixed) variance in exchange for a future, REALIZED variance. So she is "long volatility" and will profit if the realized variance is greater than expected. The advantage of

Abstract: We represent Hawkes process and their Volterra long term limits, which have recently been used as rough variance processes, as functionals of infinite dimensional affine Markov processes. The representations lead to several new views on affine Volterra processes considered by Abi
