System and method for depositing and investing illiquid or restricted assets

摘要

This invention relates to the deposit or investment of illiquid or restricted assets. It further relates to the deposit or investment indirectly or directly of these assets into an investment fund. The securities of the fund are invested with or loaned to institutions under terms that provide liquidity for the securities. For example, an insurer may rely on the assessed value of such securities to support margin requirements. Guarantees or bonds may be provided to insure against loss of principal of the fund's investment. A base risk margin database calculates the risk of loss to determine a cost of the guarantees or bonds. The owner of illiquid or restricted assets is thereby able to receive a liquid or monetary return on the assets while the borrowers of fund's securities are provided with a variety of financial tools.
