Abstract: A system and method for the dynamic discovery of prices through the use of an auction is provided. In one embodiment, the system allows a seller to auction homogenous assets or liabilities to a plurality of bidders. The assets or liabilities may be organized in baskets by maturity, by geographic location, by type, by a property, etc. The system may determine the eligibility for acceptance of bids submitted by the bidders and a plurality of bids may be determined to be eligible for acceptance using the same or different criteria. Further, a margin by which the bids are acceptable may be determined and a representation of the margin may be communicated to the seller or a bidder. The seller may configure an auction event with auction parameters, such as bid floors and hurdle rates and may alter event parameters while the auction is ongoing.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically discounting trade debt through the use of a forward auction is provided. In one example, a system that allows a seller to auction inventory to a plurality of bidders. According to this embodiment, the system may determine eligibility for acceptance of bids submitted by the bidders and a plurality of bids may be determined to be eligible for acceptance. Further, a margin by which the bids are acceptable may be determined and a representation of the margin may be communicated. In another example, a method is provided for discounting debt using an auction system. According to this embodiment, a seller may configure an auction event with auction parameters, such as hurdle rates, that will best serve the goals of the auction. The seller may alter event parameters while the event is ongoing, thus further enhancing the ability of the seller to meet auction objectives.
