Publication number: 20140249988Abstract: The present invention relates to synthetic funds for purchase by investors. A structured note is structured to provide customized equity returns/exposure. Terms of each structured note may be specified by the purchaser and the structured notes may be unsecured liabilities of the obligor, e.g., there are no underlying assets upon which the structure note is based. Thus, there will be no limits on the use of structured note proceeds and management of assets and liabilities will be left entirely to the obligor's discretion. Structured note payment obligations may be related to the performance of an objective valuation, but structured note holders will depend on the good credit of the obligor for payment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventor: Peter C Freund

Publication number: 20130339273Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for providing liquidity to an alternative investment fund. The transaction system includes a plurality of fund investors; an alternative investment fund in which the fund investors commit to the investment of “alternative investment funds,” the alternative investment fund managed by a fund manager; a structure operated in conjunction with the alternative investment fund, the structure managed by a structure manager; and a plurality of structure investors, the structure investors investing structure funds into the structure. The structure provides at least one fund investor with an option to designate cash distributions of the alternative investment fund, which are made available to the at least one fund investor, to the structure. In the system the at least one fund investor obtains a liquidation of alternative investment funds upon the designation of the cash distributions of the alternative investment fund.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.Inventor: Peter C.

Patent number: 8560425Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for providing liquidity to an alternative investment fund, such as to address the problem of illiquidity for investors in primary funds such as alternative investment funds. The transaction system includes investors in an alternative investment fund, a manager of the fund, and a structure that provides liquidity to investors who are otherwise saddled with illiquid ownership interests in the fund. The structure provides a fund investor with an option to designate some of the investor's interest in the fund to the structure, which will provide a preferred cash flow to the structure and which will provide immediate funds to the investor. In one aspect of the invention, the liquidity-providing structure is implemented using a trust to which the investor assigns his interest. The goal of the invention is to provide liquidity to investors of otherwise illiquid assets.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2002Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.Inventor: Peter C.

Patent number: 8364967Abstract: A multi-step signing system and method uses multiple signing devices to affix a single signature which can be verified using a single public verification key. Each signing device possesses a share of the signature key and affixes a partial signature in response to authorization from a plurality of authorizing agents. In a serial embodiment, after a first partial signature has been affixed, a second signing device exponentiates the first partial signature. In a parallel embodiment, each signing device affixes a partial signature, and the plurality of partial signatures are multiplied together to form the final signature. Security of the system is enhanced by distributing capability to affix signatures among a plurality of signing devices and by distributing authority us affix a partial signature among a plurality of authorizing agents.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: CQRCert, LLCInventors: Frank W.
