US Patent:
20060100949, May 11, 2006
Filed:
Sep 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/238396
Inventors:
Robert Whaley - Chapel Hill NC, US
Catherine Shalen - Chicago IL, US
William Speth - Evanston IL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:
70503600R
Abstract:
A financial instrument in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides creating an underlying asset portfolio and implementing a passive total return strategy into the financial instrument based on writing the nearby call option against that same underlying asset portfolio for a set period on or near the day the previous nearby call option contract expires. The call written will have that set period remaining to expiration, with an exercise price just above the prevailing underlying asset price level (i.e., slightly out of the money). In one embodiment, the call option is held until expiration and cash settled, at which time a new call option is written for the set period. In another embodiment, the call option is written against the underlying asset portfolio at least thirty (30) days prior to when the call will expire and the call option is not cash-settled; whereby the financial instrument is a “qualified covered call” under the Internal Revenue Code.

Inventors:
Catherine Shalen - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:

Typically one settlement amount will be zero and the other will be an amount greater than the futures price.

Method Of Creating And Trading Derivative Investment Products Based On A Volume Weighted Average Price Of An Underlying Asset

View page
US Patent:
20060253367, Nov 9, 2006
Filed:
May 4, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/122509
Inventors:
Dennis O'Callahan - Evanston IL, US
Catherine Shalen - Chicago IL, US
International Classification:
G06Q 40/00
US Classification:
705037000
Abstract:
A method of creating and trading derivative contracts based on a volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of an underlying asset is disclosed. Typically, an underlying asset is chosen to be a base of a VWAP derivative and a processor calculates a VWAP reflecting an average trading price of an underlying asset during a calculation period that is weighted according to the proportion of a total volume of underlying assets traded at each traded price. A trading facility display device coupled to a trading platform then displays VWAP derivatives and the trading facility transmits VWAP derivative quotes from liquidity providers over at least one dissemination network.
