Investment vehicle secured by government assets and electronic trading system for same

摘要

A computer system trades investment vehicles secured by governmental assets via a computerized network. A computer server is accessible with a network access device via a communications network. Executable software stored on the server is executed to transmit data relating to trading investment vehicles secured by governmental assets; to receive an instruction to buy or sell an investment vehicle secured by governmental assets; and to transmit a live order from an investor, wherein the live order is related to the instruction to buy or sell an investment vehicle secured by governmental assets. A database of investment vehicle profiles is maintained that includes a term, a face value, a governmental guarantee to repay the face value at the end of the term, a payment schedule requiring periodic payments by the governmental entity comprising a percentage of the face value, and an allocation of appreciation of the pool of governmental assets during the term of the investment vehicle. The computer communications system can be a private network or the Internet.
