Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate and display trends associated with a process control system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to generate a first graphical user interface. The first graphical user interface to include a graphical representation of a component in a process control system. The processor circuitry to generate a second graphical user interface. The second graphical user interface to include a chart region with a trend represented therein. The trend indicative of values of a process parameter of the process control system over a period of time. The processor circuitry to automatically generate the trend in the chart region in response to a graphical element being dragged and dropped from the first graphical user interface to the second graphical user interface.

Abstract: The Multichannel Exchange Mechanism Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“MEM”) transforms user share purchase, redemption request inputs, via MEM components (e.g., Basket Creation, Basket Redemption, Share issuance, NAV Calculation, Share Calculation, Order Execution, CTF Structure Initiation, Pricing Discovery, Tighten Spread, Master-Feeder, etc.), into fund share transaction records, closed-end fund share transaction records outputs. In one embodiment, MEM includes an creating exchange determining apparatus, comprising a memory, a component collection in the memory, and a processor disposed in communication with the memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions from the component collection.

Abstract: Selling exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) shares by an investment company receiving a pre-determined group of financial assets from an authorized participant in exchange for a number of ETF shares, the number of ETF shares corresponding to the group of financial assets, and the investment company purchasing a number of shares of an underlying fund, the number of shares corresponding to the group of financial assets. Redeeming ETF shares with an investment company holding a number of shares of an underlying fund by receiving ETF shares from an authorized participant, and redeeming the number of shares of the underlying fund for a first group of financial assets; obtaining a second group of financial assets; and transferring the second group of financial assets to the authorized participant.

Abstract: Among other things, receiving public information about an actively managed fund, selecting a group of financial assets, determining a group of weights corresponding to the group of financial assets thereby determining a weighted group of financial assets, the weights being determined based only on the public information, and publishing the contents of the weighted group of financial assets, wherein an expected valuation of the weighted group of financial assets is within a threshold percentage of an expected valuation of the actively managed fund.

Abstract: An accounting system allows posting transactions to a general ledger of an Exchange Traded Fund. The accounting system includes a computer-assisted process that nets subscription and redemption orders that occurred over a particular time (e.g., one day) and records a transfer of securities into or out of the fund based on the net of the subscription and redemption orders.
