摘要:
A financial product (see Fig. 1) is based on a first fund that is traded in a marketplace (16) in a first country and is registered in that country. The first fund has the characteristics of being based on an index of securities that are traded in a second different country. The first fund is arbitragable with a second fund that is based on the index and which is registered in a second country. The first fund has a basis that is the same as the second fund. The NAV of the respective funds are calculated at the same time and manner. The agent of the first fund has the option of providing or accepting second fund shares rather than cash to cover 'cash amount' obligations. Such obligations arise from the need to equate the value received or given for the first fund shares with the NAV of the first fund shares that it has issued or received.

A system dynamically displays graphic identifier information, such as corporate logos, and value information for financial instruments, such as recent trade information, on a video wall having several monitors arranged to form a larger display. The system has input ports to receive feeds with identifiers and corresponding values of financial instruments, a filter to extract the identifiers and corresponding values of the financial instruments, a memory to store the extracted information and a table associating the financial instrument identifiers with graphic symbols, and processors to form a display signal with the graphic symbols and values.

A method for trading a security in an electronic market includes receiving closing orders and orders for the security traded in the electronic market, disseminating an order imbalance indicator indicative of predicted trading characteristics of the security at the close of trading, determining a closing price for the security based on the closing orders and orders, and executing at least some of the closing orders at the determined closing price.

A financial product is based on a first fund (12) that is traded on a trading marketplace (16) in a first country. The financial product is registered (18) in the first country. The first fund (12) has the characteristics of being based on an index (30) of securities that are traded in a second, different country. The first fund (12) is arbitragable with a second fund (22) that is based on the index (30) and which is registered (28) in a second different country. The first fund (12) has a creation unit basis (15) that is substantially the same basis as a creation unit basis (25) for the second fund (22). The calculation of the net asset value of the first fund (12) occurs at essentially or exactly the same time that second country fund (22) has its net asset value calculated.

A collector facility for an electronic market is described. The collector facility includes an interface for coupling order delivery systems to the order collector facility and a quote manager that manages multiple quotes/orders received from the interface at multiple price levels.

A method of visually displaying data characteristic for a plurality of entities. The method includes generating one or more images from collected data. The one or more images represent each entity by a character located along a preselected direction in a field. The locations of the characters along the direction are representative of the value of the characteristic of the associated entity at a collection time associated with the data.

A computer system (10) including a processor (12) and a storage device storing a computer program product for rebalancing a capitalization weighted stock index are described. The computer program includes instructions for causing a computer to classify stocks in the index as Large Individual Stock if a stock has a capitalization weight above or equal to a first threshold or as a Small Individual Stock if the stock has a capitalization weight below the first threshold. The computer program causes the computer to scale down the Large Individual Stocks by an excess capitalization weight of the large stocks and distribute an aggregated excess capitalization weight of the Large Individual Stocks over the capitalization weights of the Small Individual Stocks. An iterative redistribution of excess capitalization over all Small Individual Stocks can be used to provided for less than proportional distribution of excess capitalization to very small capitalized stocks. The index rebalancing software (40) retains a capitalization weighting characteristic while permitting the index to conform to generally accepted accounting, economic and tax standards. Index rebalancing is accomplished while maintaining the original relative position of stocks and reducing the market impact of rebalancing on the Small Individual Stock group.

A data processing system provides an interface with a securities exchange system over which securities are traded. The system allows a user to configure displays (3000) tailored for specific functions and to show displays (3050) for a particular security. The user may also view a display showing information about selected securities (3034), monitor trade activity, participate in a trade and report trades. In addition, a user may display information for a selected set of securities on a continuously updated basis (3035) and can easily select from a displayed list, a desired security and certain information and functions associated with the selected security.
摘要:
A market system that includes an internal execution process is described. The system includes an order execution process that receives orders and matches orders against quotes posted in the system on a time priority basis and an order match-off process that checks if a market participant identification associated with a received order matched a market participant identification representing a quote in the system that is at the best bide or best offer price in the system.
摘要:
A system for handling quotes in an electronic market is described. The system includes a lock/cross quote detector which determines whether a quote which is entered into the market system would lock or cross other quotes in the market system and a quote formatter that receives quotes that, if entered, would lock or cross the market and reformats the quotes as marketable liability orders. The system includes a routing process that routes reformatted quotes as marketable liability orders to a market participant whose quote was locked or crossed.
