PAIRED BASIS SWAP RISK AND CREDIT MITIGATION

摘要

A credit risk mitigating system and a method of risk mitigation and collateralization of a swap used to hedge a forward contract during delivery. At least two counterparties interested in forming a swap to hedge a forward contract and a system counterparty which forms paired basis swaps with pans of counterparties interested in forming a swap and creating a swaption with each of the pair counterparties. The system (100) contains a system database (110) with two forward contracts with the information input into system database (110), the system (100) automatically generates paired commodity swaps so that four commodity swaps are generated. The system (100) also has an option to terminate a commodities swap by exercising a swaption, which would create a new commodity swap between the system (100) and the terminated participant based upon a correlated product.
