Disclosed herein are methods and systems for dynamic pricing of collective investment vehicles (CIVs). Portfolio composition data that identifies a plurality of portfolio securities of a CIV is received at a pricing server. Pricing data is obtained at the pricing server. A market-dynamic security price is determined at the pricing server for each portfolio security of the plurality of portfolio securities. The market-dynamic security price is dependent at least in part upon market-feed metrics determined from the pricing data. Based on the determined market-dynamic prices, an indicative value of a CIV share is generated at the pricing server. The indicative value of the CIV share is transmitted for publication.

Systems and methods for dynamic pricing of collective investment vehicles

A method, system and program product, the method comprising: accessing Transfer Fee data to be paid to a third party that is not the borrower or the lender or the buyer or seller in a repurchase agreement transaction of a security for a right to loan or repo one or more units of the security; accessing data on a loan or repo of units of the security, calculating an amount of a Transfer Fee for the right to loan or repo the security; generating data for debiting an account or sending a bill for the Transfer Fee; and updating the database with data on the Transfer Fee.

System, method, and program product for unit transfer fee processing

A method, system and program product, the method comprising: accessing Transfer Fee data to be paid to a third party that is not the borrower or the lender of a security for a right to loan one or more units of the security; accessing loan data on a loan of units of the security, calculating an amount of a Transfer Fee for the right to loan the security; generating data for debiting an account or sending a bill for the Transfer Fee; sending or having sent data on revenue from one or more of the Transfer Fees to be paid to an issuer of the security; updating the database with data on the Transfer Fee.

A method for managing redemptions, the method comprising: receiving, a request to redeem shares of a fund for a given market participant (MP), comprising a number of shares to redeem or a value-specifying parameter; communicating before a strike time an identification of a set of assets to distribute including a number of each one of the assets, to a MP representative, which MP representative is restricted from liquidating and disclosing the set of assets; calculating, a true-up amount, based on a monetary value at the strike time of the set of assets and either the monetary value as of the strike time of the number of shares requested to be redeemed, or the monetary value as of the strike time comprising a number of shares approximated by the value-specifying parameter, causing a transfer of all or a portion of the set of assets to the MP representative.

System, method, and program product for managing a collective investment vehicle including a true-up operation

A collective investment vehicle that provides cash distributions. The distributions provide a cash flow to holders of the collective investment vehicle securities, and also allow the value of the collective investment vehicle securities to be reset to a target level. The distributions may be scheduled to occur periodically, or may be based on the occurrence of specific events including company events, economic events, political events, etc. In some embodiments, the funds required for cash distributions are obtained without incurring any capital gains, and the distributions may be treated as a return of capital.

Exchange traded funds and mutual funds providing cash flow distributions

An ETF pricing mechanism for use in managed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) or other collective investment vehicle (CIV) that retains the confidentiality of the vehicle's assets. The method of pricing may comprise: selecting a security price for each portfolio security, wherein each selected security price is associated with a time offset within a pricing interval, and wherein the time offsets are not identical for all of the selected security prices; generating a plurality of partial price components based on the selected security prices; determining a intra-day indicative value (IIV) of a CIV share in response to the plurality of partial price components; and, publishing the determined IIV.

NAV and IIV pricing for actively managed exchange traded funds

An ETF creation and redemption mechanism for use in managed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that retains the confidentiality of the ETF assets. An agency relationship is established with an AP representative who receives the underlying securities from the ETF as part of a like kind exchange in a redemption event. In an alternative embodiment, the AP representative may be used to obtain the portfolio securities as directed by the ETF to perform a creation event. The representative relationship is preferably established by an authorized participant (AP) according an agreement between the AP and the ETF.

Systems, methods and computer program products for trading financial instruments are described herein. A first order to buy or sell a financial instrument is received, where the first order includes at least one contingency. The contingency may be price-based and/or volume-based. For example, the contingency can be based on a volume-weighted average price of the security (VWAP); a time-weighed average price of the security (TWAP); a target trading volume of the security as a percentage of total market volume during a specified period (TVOL); or a net asset value (NAV) of the security. The first order is matched with a corresponding second order. For example, a bid for a given security is matched with an offer for the same security. This matching operation also includes ensuring that the contingency(ies) of the first order are compatible with the contingency(ies) of the second order. Thereafter, the contingencies are calculated, and then the first and second orders are executed pursuant to the calculated contingencies.
