Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for managing securities funded by a municipal arbitrage portfolio (MAP) are set forth herein. A computer receives a daily valuation of a portfolio of securities from an administrator of a special purpose trust (SPT) the portfolio having been issued by the SPT. The portfolio being funded in part by equity from the MAP fund, the MAP fund being an entity subject to securities regulation oversight, the assets of the MAP fund being managed by a fund manager, and the portfolio provides a first series of payments to the MAP fund, the MAP fund having entered into a security agreement with a liquidity provider (LP). A computer verifies the daily valuation of the portfolio. A computer calculates a daily ending net asset value (NAV) of the MAP fund, where the MAP fund holdings include at least the portfolio.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for implementing municipal arbitrage portfolios are set forth herein. A first investment fund that is compliant with the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) uses a special purpose trust that: (i) issues at least a First Security funded at least in part by equity of the first investment fund, the First Security providing a series of residual interest payments to the first investment fund; (ii) issues at least one Second Security that results in a series of distributions to a second investment fund; and (iii) owns one or more municipal bonds. The first investment fund may have an obligation to reimburse a liquidity provider (LP) for losses incurred by the liquidity provider from performing its obligation to purchase the Second Security upon tender by a holder. Consolidation of the municipal bonds held by the special purpose trust on the balance sheet of the first investment fund is avoided by using one or more step out transactions.
