Abstract: A computer system converts real-valued, inflation-immunized derivative terms to nominal-valued, non-inflation-immunized data. A stipulated index is considered in this conversion as a function of time. At an input device, real-valued, inflation-immunized derivative terms and a stipulated index as a function of time are received. Also received at the input device are input values corresponding to the real-valued, inflation-immunized derivative terms, wherein the input values include at least a quantity value and data from the stipulated index at a corresponding time. The computer processes these real-oriented, inflation-immunized derivative terms with the stipulated index and thereby produces nominal-valued, non-inflation-immunized data corresponding to the real-valued, inflation-immunized derivative terms. Nominal-valued, non-inflation-immunized data is presented by the computer at an output device for the computer. The inflation-immunized derivatives can be of various forms.

Abstract: A computer-aided system of illustrating, the system including: specifying, to a computer system, a private constant-dollar instrument, including defining a respective claim division on cash flow and an asset; entering data including actual cash flow datum and actual asset datum; calculating, with the computer system, respective values for each of the claims on the cash flow and asset; and, generating, with the computer system, an illustration of the private constant-dollar instrument funding a transaction.

Abstract: System and method of making and using, products produced by the method, articles, and necessary intermediates of the foregoing as regards controlling a computer system in computing directed to inflation-immunized derivatives.

Abstract: A method using a computer system, and a computer system, computing tiered constant dollar instruments to finance a transaction. The method can include associating, with a computer system using input data, a first tier of one or more constant dollar financial instruments that do not finance a transaction and a second tier of one or more constant dollar financial instruments financed by the first tier that do finance the transaction, in producing output to implement the transaction.

Abstract: A machine and a method of using the machine to carry out specifying, with input to a computer system, a plurality of tiers and a private constant dollar instrument in at least one of a plurality of tiers; computing, from the input with computer system, aggregate cash flows for the specified tiers; determining, from the aggregate cash flows with the computer system, funding for a first of the tiers with a second of the tiers; and generating documentation of the funding with a computer system.

Abstract: Computers and data processing systems, especially pertaining to a constant-dollar financial product. Exemplary implementations include, a machine, a method for use and method for making, and corresponding products produced thereby, as well as data structures, computer-readable media tangibly embodying program instructions, manufactures, and necessary intermediates of the foregoing. Respectively, computers can use private, constant-dollar financial product data and nominal dollar data corresponding thereto, and communicate so as to cooperate (e.g., including transmit, receive) in computing a constant dollar to nominal dollar conversion for a financial product, the computers generating different output.

Abstract: System and method regarding controlling a computer system and computing directed to constant dollar instruments. The method can include providing a computer system including a computer connected to an input device and to an output device; operating a computer program, at the computer, that facilitates: receiving, at the input means, input information; determining, from the input information, an infill index; receiving, at the input device, input financial product information; processing, at the computer, the input financial product information with the infill index to produce data corresponding to a constant dollar financial instrument; and outputting the data at the output device.

Abstract: A computer system implementing at least one investment. A computer has a processor, connected to a memory device, to an input device, and to an output device, the processor programmed to control steps including: forming a synthetic investment fund by entering, as some of the input information, at least one of the group consisting of an amount of an interest-bearing asset, and an amount of a derivative instrument, and entering a specification of a relationship for the amounts; entering, as some of the input information, respective market prices for the interest-bearing asset and for the derivative instrument; calculating a unit value for each said class of interests in the fund in response to the market prices; and generating output for investor reporting, the output including holding data for each said class of interests in the fund and the unit value for each said class of interests in the fund.

Abstract: A computer-aided method for operating a customizable investment fund, the method includes receiving, at a central computer, first digital signals from a first computer specifying a custom set of investments for a fund; receiving, at the central computer, second digital signals from a second computer specifying a custom set of investments for the fund; generating, at the central computer, digital signals for acquisition of investments consistent with the first digital signals and the second digital signals; entering transaction data, at the central computer, reflecting the acquisition of said investments; and outputting a separate accounting for each said set of investments within the fund.

Abstract: A digital computer machine and a data processing system, methods involving the same and products produced thereby, as well as data structures and articles of manufacture pertaining thereto, as pertains to an auction for trading preferred return securities.

Abstract: A computer-aided method for implementing at least one synthetic stock investment fund.
