Asymmetric Investments
Asymmetric is an imbalance. Asymmetric is more of one thing, less of another. In the case of an asymmetric investment with positive asymmetry, an asymmetric investment is more profit than loss or more reward than risk. The payoff is non-linear. It has an asymmetric payoff.
Asymmetry of a trade (asymmetric payoff) is when the downside is limited, but the upside is unlimited.
