摘要:
There are provided new structural default models for modeling the likely default of publicly traded companies. In a first embodiment, the invention is straight-forward to implement and allows the capture of some important ingredients of the actual default, including positive short-term CDSs. In a second embodiment the model is somewhat more versatile and complex. Provided is a very efficient method for dealing with the timing of a default boundary, that is, jumps in the company's value, etc. Further provided is a process using Fast Fourier Transform matrix processing for processing the structural default models in a computationally efficient manner.

The invention provides methods of extrapolating at least one future mortality rate by calculating a current year mortality rate for a particular age cohort, and applying a series of improvement factors to the current year mortality rate. The invention further provides methods of structuring a derivative financial instrument by providing projected going-forward mortality rates reflective of a degree of improvement in mortality rate experience for particular age cohorts for a particular future period, and defining settlement parameters wherein a value recognized by an investor in said instrument at the time of settlement relates at least in part to the correlation between said projected mortality rate and actually-incurred mortality rate for the age cohort during at least a portion of the period.

摘要:
The invention provides systems and methods for providing replicable financial instrument orders, and establishing a fill price that is better than the theoretical upper limit of the industries' best order execution. The system has the capability of transforming a client's index order into a replicable product, such as index futures and/or baskets of the underlying stocks. The system selects whichever method and combination of securities that will achieve the best expected execution for the particular market. The system achieves the best price and execution efficiency by utilizing dynamic market information across all possible liquidity formats, liquidity pools, and high performance trading systems, delivering a product that has multiple forms at the best possible price. The result is a better final execution price that outperforms current industry practices for best order execution. The system delivers the fill order in the original liquidity format at the price, or equivalent price, of the replicable product.
