I didn't find the formula for the following portfolio (variance swap replication) with nonzero risk-free rate and nonzero dividend under black and scholes model :

enter image description here

I found formula and proof only with risk-free rate and dividend equal to zero under black and scholes :

enter image description here

An explicit formula exist for nonzero risk-free rate and nonzero dividend ? If yes, what is the result ?

Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ @ThomasArpe you mean something like: $S_t=S_c\exp\{(r-q-\sigma^2/2)(t-c)+\sigma W_t\}$, where $q$ is the continuous dividend yield? $\endgroup$ – Daneel Olivaw Jan 30 at 14:30

The first formula remains valid for paying dividends stocks. You should at first compute the forward that takes into account dividends then calculate forward black scholes calls and puts prices for different strikes with that forward.
