A method for issuing a derivative contract to a buyer includes providing an index (1) that represents a measure of commercial market volatility, assigning a target value (2) for the index at an expiration of the derivative, identifying a premium (3) for the derivative contract, estimating a return value (4) to pay a buyer at the expiration if the target value is attained, and issuing the derivative contract (5) to the buyer in accordance with the premium, expiration and return value. |
