Abstract

Claims (32)

1. A method performed by a pricing server comprising a processor, intraday indicative value (IIV) communication processor, pricing data communication processor, market-dynamic security price determination processor, and a collective investment vehicle (CIV) server communication processor, wherein the market-dynamic security price determination processor further includes a Price Information Builder (PIB) comprising a PIB rules interface, the method comprising:

storing, by the market-dynamic security price determination processor, pricing rules within the PIB;

receiving, by the CIV server communication processor, portfolio composition data of a CIV from a CIV server over a first communication link, wherein the portfolio composition data comprises security identifiers and quantity information for each security identifier, for each security in the CIV;

receiving, by the pricing data communication processor, pricing data from an exchange over a second communication link; transmitting, by the processor, the portfolio composition data and pricing data to the PIB;

receiving, by the PIB, a request for an IIV of the CIV from the processor;

determining, by the PIB and from among the stored pricing rules within the PIB, a first set of pricing rules to apply to the pricing data and portfolio composition data in computing the IIV for the CIV;

determining, by the processor and for each security identifier, at least one metric based on the pricing rules and a market-dynamic security price based on the at least one metric;

receiving, by the PIB and from the processor, the at least one metric and the market-dynamic security price;

generating, by the PIB, the requested IIV based on the received at least one metric and the market-dynamic security price for each security identifier using the determined first set of pricing rules; and

providing, by the PIB interface and via the processor, the generated IIV to a user interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pricing data includes a bid price and an ask price for each security identifier included in the portfolio composition data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the bid price is a highest bid price for each security identifier included in the portfolio composition data and the ask price is a lowest ask price for each security identifier included in the portfolio composition data.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pricing data includes, for each security identifier included in the portfolio composition data, a midpoint between a bid price and an ask price and a last actual traded price.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining, by the processor and for each security identifier, that the at least one metric for the CIV based on the pricing data.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: transmitting, by the IIV communication processor, the generated IIV to the exchange.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the market-dynamic security price for each security identifier, comprises:

selecting a first subset of the pricing data corresponding to a first pricing interval;

selecting, based on the at least one metric, a second subset of the pricing data corresponding to a second pricing interval; and

based on a comparison of the first subset of the pricing data to the second subset of the pricing data, using either a bid price, an ask price, a midpoint between a bid and ask price, or a last trade price to determine the market-dynamic security price for the security identifier.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the market-dynamic security price for each security identifier, comprises scaling the selected first subset of the pricing data by a predetermined multiplier or divisor.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the market-dynamic security price for each security identifier, comprises using a different pricing technique than a prior pricing interval.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating, by the PIB, the requested IIV comprises:

generating, by the PIB, a plurality of IIV values for the CIV; and

determining, by the PIB, a particular IIV based on the plurality of generated IIV values, wherein the particular IIV is the requested IIV.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein determining, by the PIB, the particular IIV based on the plurality of generated IIV values, comprises:

selecting, using a random number processor of the PIB, the particular IIV from among the plurality of generated IIV values.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein determining, by the PIB, the particular IIV based on the plurality of generated IIV values, comprises:

computing, by the PIB, an average of the plurality of generated IIV values to obtained the particular IIV.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pricing rules stored in the PIB include one or more of trade movement data, trading volume data, price movement data, and price rounding rules.

14. The method of claim 2 , wherein generating the requested IIV comprises generating an unadjusted indicative value of a CIV share and rounding the unadjusted indicative value of the CIV share to a predetermined resolution.

15. The method of claim 2 , wherein the pricing data include data for securities with characteristics corresponding to the security identifiers included among securities in the portfolio composition data.

16. The method of claim 3 , wherein the characteristics specify prices that correspond to prices of the security identifiers.
