Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for, e.g., generating a private cryptographic key and public cryptographic key as a cryptographic key pair; storing the private cryptographic key and the public cryptographic key in a trusted execution environment (TEE); generating a smart contract configured to: identify a triggering event comprising a request to perform a service comprising generating digital currency; prior to performing the service, verify conditions for performing the service; and in response to verifying the conditions for performing the service, generating the digital currency; generating a hash value representing the smart contract using the private cryptographic key; transmitting the hash value representing the smart contract to a privacy computing platform; and transmitting the public cryptographic key to the privacy computing platform configured to decrypt the hash value representing the smart contract.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for dynamic pricing of collective investment vehicles (CIVs). Portfolio composition data that identifies a plurality of portfolio securities of a CIV is received at a pricing server. Pricing data is obtained at the pricing server. A market-dynamic security price is determined at the pricing server for each portfolio security of the plurality of portfolio securities. The market-dynamic security price is dependent at least in part upon market-feed metrics determined from the pricing data. Based on the determined market-dynamic prices, an indicative value of a CIV share is generated at the pricing server. The indicative value of the CIV share is transmitted for publication.

Abstract: An equitized currency trust has its underlying value based solely on currency, rather than on securities and/or commodities. Shares of the equitized currency trust are priced in a currency other than the currency that forms the underlying value.

Abstract: Computer methods and systems for managing a bond investment instrument are disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system and program product, the method comprising: accessing Transfer Fee data to be paid to a third party that is not the borrower or the lender or the buyer or seller in a repurchase agreement transaction of a security for a right to loan or repo one or more units of the security; accessing data on a loan or repo of units of the security, calculating an amount of a Transfer Fee for the right to loan or repo the security; generating data for debiting an account or sending a bill for the Transfer Fee; and updating the database with data on the Transfer Fee.

Abstract: A method for managing redemptions, the method comprising: receiving, a request to redeem shares of a fund for a given market participant (MP), comprising a number of shares to redeem or a value-specifying parameter; communicating before a strike time an identification of a set of assets to distribute including a number of each one of the assets, to a MP representative, which MP representative is restricted from liquidating and disclosing the set of assets; calculating, a true-up amount, based on a monetary value at the strike time of the set of assets and either the monetary value as of the strike time of the number of shares requested to be redeemed, or the monetary value as of the strike time comprising a number of shares approximated by the value-specifying parameter, causing a transfer of all or a portion of the set of assets to the MP representative.

Abstract: A method, system and program product for managing redemptions for a collective investment vehicle, the method comprising: performing a creation event; calculating and disseminating automatically an intraday indicative value (IIV); performing a redemption event, comprising: receiving, a request to redeem shares of the collective investment vehicle for a given MP, with the request to redeem shares comprising a number of shares to redeem or a value-specifying parameter; communicating before a strike time an identification of first set of one or more assets to distribute including a number of each one of the assets, to a market participant representative (MP representative), acting on behalf of the given MP for which the collective investment vehicle shares were received, which MP representative is governed by an agreement imposing a restriction on liquidation and disclosure of the first set of assets; calculating, a redemption true-up monetary amount, based on a monetary value at the strike time of the first set

Abstract: A collective investment vehicle that provides cash distributions. The distributions provide a cash flow to holders of the collective investment vehicle securities, and also allow the value of the collective investment vehicle securities to be reset to a target level. The distributions may be scheduled to occur periodically, or may be based on the occurrence of specific events including company events, economic events, political events, etc. In some embodiments, the funds required for cash distributions are obtained without incurring any capital gains, and the distributions may be treated as a return of capital.

Abstract: An ETF pricing mechanism for use in managed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) or other collective investment vehicle (CIV) that retains the confidentiality of the vehicle's assets. The method of pricing may comprise: selecting a security price for each portfolio security, wherein each selected security price is associated with a time offset within a pricing interval, and wherein the time offsets are not identical for all of the selected security prices; generating a plurality of partial price components based on the selected security prices; determining a intra-day indicative value (IIV) of a CIV share in response to the plurality of partial price components; and, publishing the determined IIV.

Abstract: An ETF creation and redemption mechanism for use in managed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that retains the confidentiality of the ETF assets. An agency relationship is established with an AP representative who receives the underlying securities from the ETF as part of a like kind exchange in a redemption event. In an alternative embodiment, the AP representative may be used to obtain the portfolio securities as directed by the ETF to perform a creation event. The representative relationship is preferably established by an authorized participant (AP) according an agreement between the AP and the ETF.
