  • Patent number: 8712908
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system for issuing and servicing a Home Appreciation Participation Note (HAPN) for a real estate property, which includes issuing an Participation Contract (PC) for the property to PC investors, where the PC has a value derived from a sharing formula based on a change of a proxy for the value of the property relative to an initial value of the proxy, and the proxy is independent of an actual current condition of the property (after the initial valuation); and issuing a HAPN Bond for the property to HAPN Bond investors, where the HAPN Bond has an initial value set as a sum of an amount paid for the PC and an amount paid for the HAPN Bond. Both the PC and the HAPN Bond represent claims on the property, and the HAPN Bond is a performance bond for the PC if the value of the PC is negative.

  • Patent number: 8065207
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for issuing a new type of security, referred to herein as a “Guarantee Certificate,” which offers payments to a holder contingent upon the occurrence of specified risk-related events that would typically trigger an insurance or guaranty payment. Guarantee Certificates offer a mechanism for separating certain payment rights associated with a pool of assets (which may or may not be securitized) from the remaining payment rights associated with the pool, such that the payment rights form separate, transferable financial instruments. These instruments evidence an obligation of a mortgage insurer or a securities guarantor to make payments triggered by certain default-related events involving a corresponding (in the case of a mortgage insurer) or an underlying (in the case of a securities guarantor) mortgage loan or loans. A data processing system creates and maintains information corresponding to the Guarantee Certificates. A Guarantee Certificate may be tradable by the holder.
