Method and system for creating and trading derivative investment products based on a statistical property reflecting the variance of an underlying asset
First Claim
1. A system for creating a limited risk derivative product based on a realized variance of an underlying equity, the system comprising:
- a variance property module comprising a processor and a memory coupled with the processor, the processor configured to execute logic stored in the memory to create a limited risk derivative product based on a realized variance of an underlying equity, the limited risk derivative comprising a capped value for a statistical property reflecting the variance of the underlying equity and an average of a summation of each squared daily return of the underlying equity included in the capped value for the statistical property reflecting the variance of the underlying equity;
wherein the capped value for the statistical property reflecting the variance of the underlying equity comprises a value and a cap, the value reflecting an average volatility of price returns of the underlying equity over a predefined time period and the cap reflecting a maximum value of the value reflecting the average volatility of price returns of the underlying equity over the predefined time period; and
wherein the value of the statistical property reflecting the variance of the underlying equity is calculated according to the formula;

Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a limited risk derivative based on a realized variance of an underlying equity is disclosed. In one implementation, a limited risk derivative product includes a capped value for a statistical property reflecting a variance of the underlying equity is calculated based on a pari-mutuel action. The capped value includes a dynamic value and a cap. The dynamic value reflects an average volatility of prices returns of the underlying equity over a predefined period of time and the cap reflects a maximum value of the dynamic value. The limited risk derivative product additionally includes an average of a summation of each squared daily return of the underlying equity included in the value for the statistical property reflecting the variance of the underlying equity.
