ASYMMETRIC AND VOLATILITY MARGINING FOR RISK OFFSET
First Claim
1. A method for asymmetrically analyzing a financial risk, the method comprising:
- determining a first margin for a first position associated with a financial product, wherein the financial product represents an event having disparate risk positions;
determining a second margin for a second position associated with the financial product, wherein the second margin is related to the first margin as an exponential function; and
calculating a cash flow according to the first margin for the first position and the second margin for the second position.

Abstract
A system and method for analyzing, administering and managing risk for portfolio including at least one product having substantially asymmetric risk exposures is disclosed. The system and method includes determining a first margin for a first position associated with a financial product, wherein the financial product represents an event having disparate risk positions, and determining a second margin for a second position associated with the financial product, wherein the second margin is related to the first margin as an exponential function. The system and method further include calculating a cash flow according to the first margin for the first position and the second margin for the second position.

9. A method of analyzing the risk associated with a portfolio of products traded on an exchange, the method comprising:
-
defining a portfolio to include a plurality of products, wherein each of the plurality of products includes a first margin associated with a first position and a second margin associated with a second position;
calculating the first margin for one of the plurality of products having an asymmetric risk;
calculating the second margin for the one of the plurality of products wherein the second margin is determined according to an exponential relationship to price for the one of the plurality of products; and
determining a margin for the portfolio including the first and second calculated margins. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for managing risk associated with a portfolio of products traded on an exchange, the system comprising:
-
a processor;
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory configured to store a program logic, wherein the program logic is executable on the processor and is configured to;
determine a margin for a plurality of products within the portfolio, wherein the margin for a position of at least one of the plurality of products is determined as an exponential function; and
determine a margin requirement representative of the risk associated with the plurality of products within the portfolio based on at least the position of the at least one of the plurality of products. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
