  • Publication number: 20100125533
    Abstract: A computer system is operated to allow an existing investor to keep an investment in an alternative investment fund, even though the existing investor lacks the funds to pay for the unfunded capital commitments by transferring a percentage of the obligation to fund future commitment to a prospective investor. An agreement maintains privity of contract between the existing investor and the investment vehicle (a Separate Account) comprised of a fund investment manager and an investor and is managed by a fund manager for the prospective investor. The computer system operates to execute the terms of the contract such that the existing investor receives distributions from investments in the underlying alternative investment fund after payment of amounts due to the Separate Account in preference to the existing investor.
