A mutual fund securitization process permitting the trading of open end
mutual funds and linked derivative securities on or off the floor of a
National Securities Exchange. The targeted individual open end mutual
fund or group of open end mutual funds, selected through a screening
process is securitized through the creation of a new, separate security.
This new security is preferably a "closed end fund of funds" and linked
derivative securities, which synthetically replicate the statistical
relationship of the defined individual or group of open end mutual funds.
The maintenance of financial records for the new security is maintained
by electronically storing dividend, capital gains and income received
from the open end funds which have been invested in, and calculating
pro-forma financial statements to disseminate to shareholders and all
relevant parties.
