Abstract: A common index fund system and method enables investment in entities that is indexed to a common index, rather than individual company performance. For small business entities, the creation, issuance, trading and management of fund shares as a liquid investment may be accomplished with, for example, a relatively stable industry-based risk. The entities receive value from a pool and in return make payments into the pool in an amount that varies according to the index, which causes a corresponding change in the value of the shares.

Such market-based mortgage loans can be pooled in a fund and fund shares can be issued against the fund. The mortgage can be a residential mortgage in which the regular (e.g. Monthly) payments (interest and or principal) fluctuate with a price index for the local house market. Balance upon prepayment can also fluctuate with such an index.

Abstract: A system and method for performing inflation indexing is provided. The system comprises an inflation indexing processor configured to calculate a payment stream from a set of information including a liquidity value. An inflation component processor is configured to retrieve one or more inflation components or aggregate individual transactions in order to calculate the inflation components and to generate an inflation index therefrom. And a payment adjustment processor is configured to adjust the payment stream using the inflation index. Inflation indexed payment streams can be aggregated into a fund, against which shares may be defined and traded.
