English term or phrase: two people that have the opposite exposure
There are two strategies for handling risk. One is diversification strategy, which is: We pool our risk, and everybody takes a little piece. The other idea is from options—hedging—in which we find two people that have the opposite exposure. There are these things called weather derivatives. For some people a lot of snow is a good thing, for others, it's bad. If you own a ski resort, lots of snow would be good. If you're a city and you have a snow removal budget, lots of snow would be bad. So people who have opposite exposures get together and they self-insure each other. If I'm a ski resort owner and it snows a lot, I'll make lots of money, so I'll give part of the money I make to the city and vice versa.
拥有相反风险的双方？有没有通俗一点的译法？

Explanation:
其中一方得益，必定给对方带来风险的双方。

有时具体解释一下，字数多了，意思却更明确。
