  • Publication number: 20070198385
    Abstract: A product and process that will enable retail consumers to hedge their exposure to volatile household commodities, such as gasoline and natural gas, by implementing optionality through channels where individuals already purchase those commodities. In turn, this aggregated retail optionality provides an attractive investment vehicle for institutions active in the energy and commodity markets. A commodity supplier such as gasoline retailer (or natural gas utility, credit card issuer, etc.) can sell caps on the cost of gasoline, etc, to its existing customers, in return for a periodic premium billed to the customer's captive credit card statement or utility bill. A dealer can package and securitize the risk in tranches.
