Collaborative risk sharing methods and related products

Abstract

Collaborative risk sharing methods and related products are disclosed. According to one method, first and second entities can agree to share different risks associated with occurrences of first and second events, respectively. First and second probabilities of an occurrence the first and second events, respectively, can be determined. Further, the method may include a step for assigning first and second values for payment of the first and second entities, respectively, on the occurrence of the first and second events, respectively. The method can also include a step for determining first and second contributions of the first and second entities, respectively, towards the payment on the occurrence of the first and second events, respectively. The first and second entities can have an equal risk/return ratio. The risk/return ratio can be based on the first and second probabilities and the first and second values.
