Abstract
The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INFLATION-SENSITIVE INDEX AND ASSOCIATED FINANCIAL PRODUCT GENERATOR ('ISIG') provides facilities for generating and managing inflation-sensitive financial indices and/or the associated portfolios of investment vehicles underlying them, as well as for constructing tradable financial products based on and/or otherwise influenced by the values of those indices. In one embodiment, the ISIG may generate, maintain and/or manage at least three indices and/or financial products based thereon (e.g., such as index-linked exchange traded funds, and/or the like): a long-term inflation index that depends on the long term inflation expectations embedded in the U.S. Government bond market; a long-term TIPS index, that tracks an investment in the longest TIPS in the marketplace, the 30 year TIPS bond, that may roll to on-the-run series according to a predefined roll schedule; and a long-term treasury index that tracks an investment in the longest maturity sector for government bonds with the price transparency and liquidity of a futures contract.
