Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to information systems and to real-time processes residing on a computer system. More specifically, the disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for creating, monitoring, processing, and transforming the beneficial interests of one or more entities which issue two or more offsetting claim interests which are linked to changes in an endogenous or exogenous variable or index. Such offsetting interest claims will be subject to transformation by the system where system transformations will modify the relative entitlements.

Abstract: An information and synchronous communications computer system and process displays (i) contingent and non-contingent promotional offers or contest rewards, and (ii) data relating to future events with uncertain outcomes, where the realization of contingent promotional offers and rewards is based upon a contestant's successful predictive balloting (through interactive computer interface of the system) over future events with uncertain outcomes. Balloting involves the submission of one or more predicted choices or values relating to single or multiple future events with uncertain outcomes. Through real-time processes, the system creates, validates and modifies balloting interface and related processes to control dispersion of contestant entry selections in order to maintain a forecasted aggregate amount of awards within a statistically predetermined range.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed which creates, modifies and manipulates the units of a collective investment vehicle, and which accurately tracks a linked index or specific investment strategy through the execution of steps including: creating units at a fixed price and fixed par value at the opening of any market period; modifying of the par value of units which are traded between investors to a fixed initial par value; creating of the intra-period price values which links unit par value to returns for the applicable partial period to produce a system generated intra-day transacting price; and at the close of each market period, a manipulation of the number of units outstanding, such that the units reflect an equivalent value based on a reset to the initial fixed price, and further such that the par value is adjusted in a counterbalancing direction.
