- ETFs exchange traded funds
- HAVENs are intended to serve purposes similar to those of commodity contracts available to producers and consumers of commodities other than houses, such as precious metals, agricultural products or livestock.
- HAVENs differ from traditional insurance, in that no up-front payment is necessary to secure protection; instead a portion of ownership is pledged. In addition, this greatly broadens the public participation and thus spreads the risk.
- Traditional insurance resources based on homeowner premiums could be overwhelmed in a depression environment, increasing the risk that the homeowner would not be covered for his losses on sale of the property.
- US20100185467 describes an approach that allows equity returns, expenses, and risk in a real estate asset to be shared dynamically between an investor and an owner of rights.
- holding the real estate asset is considered to be a joint venture

- Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an example of a client device
- Figures 5A to 5C are a flow chart of a specific example of a manufacturing method.
- Figure 6 is an example of a process for transferring ownership of a financial product.
- the manufacturing process involves acquiring starting materials including a plurality of ownership items.
- the ownership items represent partial ownership of an asset, and in particular respective real property, such as a residential real property, including but not limited to housing, apartments, residential land, or the like.
- a manufacturing process is performed using the starting materials, with the manufacturing process being performed to create end financial products at step 120, which in one example at step 130 are tradable and/or transferable financial products.
- step 150 This involves acquiring ownership items at step 150, which are data representative of a partial ownership of a particular residential real property.
- Such ownership items are typically acquired with unique acquisition terms which, among other things, provide the facility for the investor to obtain the full cash return on investment in advance and to utilise the ownership items in the production of a new physical financial product.
- unique acquisition terms which, among other things, provide the facility for the investor to obtain the full cash return on investment in advance and to utilise the ownership items in the production of a new physical financial product.
- the ownership items are then processed at step 160, which typically involves transforming ownership items into a plurality of security items, each security item representing a fixed proportion of a value of the respective ownership item, such as a market value, or other suitable value, and a secured claim to such value.
- This process may also involve detaching any legal titles from ownership items and assigning new and unique properties, additional values, unique expiry conditions and unique security item identifiers to the created security items.
- the resulting security items can have unique guaranteed terms of investment, and represent a new component material, with unique security item identifiers attached, which can then be utilised in the process of creation of a new physical financial product.
- the security items are used to create multiple security pool items, with each security pool item including single or multiple security items generated from different ownership items.
- the security pool items can include security items associated with different residential real properties. In one example, this is performed by uniquely assembling security items and assigning each security pool item with a unique security item identifier and new and unique properties including new and inherited values.
- the security pool items typically represent a unique mix of security claims associated with a pool of specific property stakes, and can have guaranteed investment terms and a unique structure of investment returns, dynamic expiry conditions, or the like.
- each security pool item can represent a new component material, with unique security item identifiers attached, which can be utilised in the process of creation of a new physical financial product.
- each security pool fraction item can be assigned a unique security pool fraction item identifier and can have new and unique properties including new values, unique security claims in a form of a fraction of unique mix of security claims associated with a pool of specific property stakes, guaranteed investment terms and unique structure of investment return, dynamic expiry conditions, or the like.
- Each security pool fraction item represents a new component material, which in turn become base component material of end financial products that are created in step 190, thereby giving the end financial product unique value and set of characteristics.
- Each financial product can represent an independently existing physical product.
- Each financial product can have a unique financial product identifier attached, which carries new and unique attributes, properties of substance and qualities including instant legal and physical transferability, unique legal structure, unique structure of investment return, unique security claim associated with unique mix of fractions of specific property stakes, unique and dynamic expiry conditions, high liquidity and affordability, ability to be transferred without ownership registry, and a patent number or other similar identifier.
- the manufacturing process is typically performed at least in part using one or more electronic processing devices forming part of one or more processing systems. Whilst the system can use multiple processing devices, with processing performed by one or more of the devices, for the purpose of ease of illustration, the following examples will refer to a single device, but it will be appreciated that reference to a singular processing device should be understood to encompass multiple processing devices and vice versa, with processing being distributed between the devices as appropriate.
- this typically involves generating starting data indicative of the plurality of ownership items, and then storing the starting data in a data store.
- the starting data is then typically transformed to generate end financial product data indicative of the end financial products, which can again be stored, allowing this to be subsequently retrieved and used as required.
- this typically involves having the processing device transform the starting data by generating and storing security item data indicative of each security item using the ownership item data, for example by extracting legal titles associated with ownership item data and adding new data including unique guaranteed terms of investment, added value, unique dynamic expiry terms.
- the processing device then generates and stores security pool item data indicative of each security pool item using the security item data. This is followed by the processing device generating and storing security pool fraction items data using security pool item data, before generating and storing the end financial product data using the security pool fraction items data.
- the above described process includes two key stages working in synergy with each other and facilitated by a managing entity.
- the first stage of the process involves the acquisition of a starting material in a form of fixed ownership stakes in residential real properties.
- a step is typically performed for individuals wishing to realise accumulated mortgage-free proportion of value in their properties and examples include retirees or other types of residential real property owners willing to benefit from the accumulated free equity in their residential real properties.
- This can be performed by having the managing entity purchase a stake in the residential real property of a customer, with the customer purchasing back a right of occupancy up-front, at the time of sale.
- unique properties of the starting material include:
- Each item of starting material carries its own unique blend of socio-economic characteristics including property location, design, size, social environment, economic value, which contributes to the base value of the end financial product
- Each step of subsequent transformation of starting material during the manufacturing process includes creation of unique combinations of these base values which in turn adds new elements of economic value at each step
- Ownership stake represents a commodity for both parties of the purchase transaction: o the homeowners - as a unit of economic wealth sold for cash o the Managing entity - as a unit of raw material
- such stakes including the raw materials and processed financial products, are inventory items manufactured and offered for sale.
- sold house stakes represent a tradable commodity that is sold for the monetary value that can be exchange for other monetary, physical or non-monetary items.
- the above manufacturing process converts ownership stakes in properties, such as residential real properties, into tradable and/or transferable financial products, that can then be acquired by investors.
- the tradable and/or transferable financial products are tied to the value of the residential real property, which ensures that the value of the financial products increase in line with increases in property values.
- the resulting financial product can be a discrete digital (or potentially print based) physical asset.
- An advantage of this is it can be transacted independently from the product register, where the current holder of the asset is able to physically transfer the asset directly to a buyer, with this process resulting in the buyer being the new owner. This can be facilitated through the use of encryption processes, but in any event, allows for the financial products to be more easily independently traded, as will be described in more detail below.
- the above process provides a mechanism for property owners to realise value on their property, without having to undergo a re-mortgaging process, thereby protecting the right of the individual to remain within their home.
- the above described process can solve the issues associated with conventional solutions by offering a sale of a clearly defined stake up front, while allowing the full enjoyment of home use for the duration of the contract. This not only solves the risk of potential financial distress under the reverse mortgage offer or a loan default, but also removes the great deal of mental stress and uncertainty. Homeowners also benefit from the continued compounding growth of the remaining, fixed equity stake, thus growing their financial wealth.
- each step of the manufacturing process contains unique elements not found in prior art, such as the document previously identified in the background section.
- the current approach uses unique terms for acquiring and processing raw material, in the form of ownership items, including unique terms of investment returns capable of being fully monetised in advance, unique criteria for selecting, blending and splitting of unique securities, unique methods of assigning specific values, attaching dynamic expiry conditions and detaching legal titles.
- the end result of the process is the creation of a unique physical product with unique attributes, that is transferable physically - by physically passing the product from one person to another; such product does not bear any registrable legal title to the real estate property (either directly to the property or to securities of the special purpose entity holding the property) or is not otherwise legally attached (directly or indirectly) to the property ownership (e.g. through a beneficial interest agreement, property sharing agreement, registered mortgage etc.), but instead exists independently from the manufacturer.
- An investor in the end product has no access or entitlement to original ownership stakes (directly or indirectly) or any information about them, and cannot influence any decision related to ownership stakes (e.g. asset selection, acquisition terms etc.).
- the financial product has a unique product structure due to unique combinations of unique components bearing specific attributes not found in prior art (including unique combinations of underlying securities over values of unique pools of multiple stakes in various real estate properties, dynamic expiry conditions, removed legal title or claim to the original property stakes).
- the financial product has a unique product function by being means of unique investment in a form of a financial product bearing unique characteristics, not found in prior art (including unique rates and structure of investment and investment returns, unique risk profile (spread over multiple independent properties), security conditions, expiry conditions).
- unique risk profile swipe over multiple independent properties
- security conditions expiry conditions
- an equity stake (equity security) in a holding vehicle (e.g. a trust, special purpose company etc.) that owns direct rights in the real estate;
- the end financial product represents an independent tangible financial asset, with no legal attachment to underlying real estate properties through legal titles/ownership rights to the underlying real estate held directly or through holding entities.
- the financial product has its own value, properties and qualities, created by a unique manufacturing process. End financial products are instantly transferable physically and legally between independent traders, unlimited number of times. This is similar to trading of any other physical product, like for example a seller of apples physically transfers apples to the buyer.
- the financial product exists in a form of an electronic article, with its own mass and matter. The transferring of the product does not require its registration with any form of registry.
- the product is highly liquid, not owner dependent, and easily accessible to any type of investor through the product’s own unique electronic marketplace.
- a security item represents a security claim, such claim can exist in two forms that can be described as direct - specific and indirect - non-specific.
- the current invention includes a form of a security item (claim), not found in the prior art, that is a unique hybrid of the two forms described above, being indirect - specific.
- the manufacturing employed by the current approach is distinct to the processes used in the prior art. Specifically the current approach uses interconnected and interdependent steps that together produce a specific and credible utility (end physical product, instantly transferable both physically and legally) with significant economic benefits, from the starting material (electronic articles of data representatives of the physical real estate assets), on the physical devices (computers, servers) by way of technology.
- Each step of the manufacturing process results in the creation of new forms, qualities, properties and combinations given to the component materials and the end product.
- the end product is a tangible article and a commodity with significant economic utility, and each article produced can carry a patent number to provide a notice to potential infringers and is a mark of product’s authenticity.
- Each article produced can be physically transferred outside of the manufacturing facility and traded by independent external parties.
- a combination of one or more of block-chain, meta data and distributed data stores can be used to provide additional end product security, full manufacturing audit trail, value and authenticity validation, and facilitate instant physical and legal transferability.
- Manufacture is defined as including “starting material, the end product and the means for adopting one to the other” as per British Celanese Ltd v Courtaulds Ltd (1935) 52 R.P.C. 171. Further, manufacture requires “the production of articles for use from raw or prepared materials by giving to these materials new forms, qualities, properties or combinations, whether by hand-labor or by machinery” as per In re Nuijten 500 F.3d 1346 (Fed. Cir. 2007), where the Supreme Court also clarified that "manufacture” means both the process or operation of making products by hand, by machinery, or by other agency," and “anything made from raw materials, by the hand, by machinery, or by art” .
- financial reporting standard means a financial reporting standard issued by the Board under section 12; and includes an amendment to a financial reporting standard that is issued by the Board
- the Board works with similar international bodies that produce international accounting standards (IAS).
- IAS 38 The international accounting standard 38 (IAS 38) defines an asset (physical and non-physical) as a resource that is:
- An asset is identifiable if it is separable, i.e. is capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or together with a related contract, identifiable asset or liability, regardless of whether the entity intends to do so.
- an intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Examples include scientific or technical knowledge, design and implementation of new processes or systems, licences, intellectual property, market knowledge and trademarks, and examples of items encompassed by these headings are: software, patents, customer lists, mortgage servicing rights, licences, marketing rights. Therefore, any asset that is not intangible asset is a tangible asset.
- Monetary assets are money held and assets to be received in fixed or determinable amounts of money, whilst a financial asset is defined to include any asset that is (a) cash; (b) an equity asset of another entity; (c) a contractual right: (i) to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or (ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the entity.
- a bond is an example of a financial asset.
- IAS 2 defines that inventories are assets that are (a) held for sale in the ordinary course of business; (b) in the process of production for such sale; or (c) in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services.
- Section 7(1) As including a) a debt security; or b) an equity security.
- Section 7(2) clarifies that “If an interest or a right is declared by regulations not to be a security for the purposes of this Act, the interest or right is not a financial product for the purposes of this Act”.
- a definition of Security includes: a facility that has, or is intended to have, the effect of a person making an investment and includes a financial product.
- a commodity is an exchangeable unit of economic wealth, a primary product or raw material.
- Section 14 of the NZ Patents Act 2013 sets out criteria of patentable inventions, including that the invention “is a manner of manufacture within the meaning of section 6 of the Statute of Monopolies”.
- the New Zealand patent office in their definition of the “manner of manufacture”, rely on the criteria established by the NRDC case, which includes a key requirement that an invention must produce an artificially created state of affairs resulting in the physical phenomenon in which a useful effect may be observed.
- Tangible assets financial assets produced as a result of the invention are tangible assets as defined by the case law (and the underlying physical laws) and international financial standards approved by statutes of relevant governments, including New Zealand (Financial Reporting Act 2013): o they are tangible assets and/or a commodity o they are identifiable monetary assets measurable in units of currency
- Homeowners it allows a sale of a fixed stake in a residential real property with the right to remain in their own home on the clearly defined terms, thus providing immediate financial benefit, as well as certainty of ownership structure and succession planning. They also benefit from continuing appreciation of the remaining ownership stake in the house value. No debt is created.
- Financial asset holders an alternative investment that is secured over specific asset pool and provides an economic return on specifically defined terms, with potential of high financial returns. It allows to “follow the housing market” and helps build personal wealth.
- the manufacturing process is not directed at an abstract idea as it does not contain any characteristic thereof.
- it is not a mathematical concept as it is not: mathematical relationships, mathematical formulas or equations, or mathematical calculations.
- the process is not a method of organizing human activity. In this regard, it is not directed at a fundamental economic principle(s) or practice such as hedging, insurance or mitigating risks, but rather is directed to a very specific process for manufacturing a specific financial product. Any element of such practices or principles that may be included in the characteristics of the resulting products created by the process are only ancillary and do not form the main purpose of the process. Also, the resulting financial product is not a type of financial instrument that is designed to protect against the risk of investing in financial instruments.
- the process is not directed at merely creating commercial or legal interactions in the form of contracts, legal obligations, advertising, marketing or sales activities or behaviours, and business relations.
- the invention is materially different from a claim in Fort Properties, Inc. v. American Master Lease, LLC which is used as an example of a commercial or legal interaction by the USPTO.
- the invention leads to the creation of substantial utility in a form of a tangible commodity, a recognised class of the financial assets, which is separate, identifiable and is independently tradable on an open market.
- Assets both physical and financial used as a starting material and as the end financial product, satisfy the definition of a “commodity”. Both are traded and produce a definite and tangible economic utility as part of the above described process.
- This aspect of the financial assets utilised in and created by this process places them outside of any possible classification as mere fundamental economic principle of organising human activity, such as hedging for example, as the main purpose of the commodity is the flow of economic benefit.
- the starting material is bought as a commodity.
- the end financial product which is given new properties, form and qualities during the manufacturing process, is sold as a commodity to and between market participants multiple times and independently from the starting material. The value of the end financial product is determined by the market participants.
- the end financial products can be transferred outside of the “manufacturing facility” and individually assigned with a patent identification number.
- Patent protection will therefore ensure the viability of the business that has an immense potential for millions of people to benefit financially and socially, improve their well-being and feeling of future security. There is further no risk to stifling of innovation as the competition already offers its own products that would still allow it to earn significant financial gains.
- Each ownership item defines the terms and extent of rights acquired in the residential real property. This typically includes any one or more of a fixed ownership stake, defined purchase price, an occupancy charge in a form of a separate fixed ownership stake in the same property, an occupancy charge renewal option in a form of an additional fixed ownership stake in the same property and an option to offset various additional charges against purchase price, although it will be appreciated that other criteria may be specified depending on the preferred implementation. Other example criteria include a transfer of rights to a managing entity, a right of occupancy for a current property owner and/or a purchase price offset indicative of a value of the right of occupancy.
- the ownership items may also include acquisition terms that provide a facility for the investor to obtain cash return on investment in advance and/or utilise the starting material in the production of a new financial product.
- the ownership items also typically include a unique ownership item identifier, which can be passed on through further manufacturing steps, to the end financial product, and is intended for, among other things, the end financial product’s value and authenticity validation, and providing a full manufacturing audit trail.
- the security items are assigned respective attributes, which can be used to add value to the security items beyond that which would be accrued from the ownership items.
- the attributes could include an expiry date that shows the maximum time the security item will be able to accumulate the return on investment and/or a set of expiry conditions that may trigger an early expiry date. This is assigned to ensure certainty of the term carried by a security item, as it is built-in into the properties of the end financial product. This allows investors of the end financial product to collect financial returns at specifically defined point of time, with the fixed expiry date further allowing for an estimated investment return to be calculated at any point in time, which in turn helps establish a trading price.
- the attributes of the security item could include a fixed proportion of value, such as a market or other value in the respective ownership item, defining the proportion of the market (or other) value of the ownership item that is allocated to the security item.
- the attributes could include a secured claim over the fixed proportion of value of the residential real property and/or an added value, as well as a stake type value in the respective ownership item, for example defining whether the security item is in respect of a proportion of the entire property or some part of it only.
- Attributes could include a value, such as a market or other value, of the respective ownership item or of the occupancy charge associated with the respective ownership item.
- the attributes may also include unique guaranteed terms of investment, allowing owners to understand the terms of their investment.
- the security item will also typically include a unique security item identifier, which is typically passed on through further manufacturing steps to the end financial product to allow for verification of at least one of a value and authenticity of the financial product.
- the method involves transforming an ownership item into security items having different respective attributes, so for example security items may relate to different proportion of the ownership item, and hence have different values, whilst some may relate to different item of a real property.
- security items may relate to different proportion of the ownership item, and hence have different values, whilst some may relate to different item of a real property.
- the transformation typically includes detaching any legal titles from ownership items, assigning new and unique properties, values and qualities and assigning unique security item identifiers, with these again being propagated through the manufacturing process to the end product.
- each security item is typically capable of existing independently from the respective ownership item, and can be used as component material in the production of another tangible financial asset.
- the method of assembly of security pool items from security items includes creating security pool items, by applying unique assembly criteria and assigning new form of security claim associated with a unique combination of multiple underlying real estate property stakes, assigning each security pool item with a new set of respective attributes, properties, values and qualities, assigning unique item identifier; each security pool item is capable of existing independently, to be used as a component material in the production of another tangible financial asset.
- splitting each security pool item involves splitting each security pool item into smaller security pool fraction items.
- Each security pool fraction item has another set of unique attributes, including one or more of a unique security pool fraction item identifier, new and unique properties including new and inherited values, a unique mix of security claims associated with a pool of specific property stakes, guaranteed investment terms, a unique structure of investment returns, and/or dynamic expiry conditions.
- the security pool fraction items become base component material of a sequence of financial products, each product having a respective allocation of the security pool fraction items.
- Each financial product is typically one or more of: is legally and physically transferable, represents an independently existing physical product, includes authenticity verification information, includes a unique financial product identifier, a patent identifier, carries new and unique attributes, properties of substance and qualities, includes a unique legal structure, includes a unique investment return structure, includes a unique security claim associated with a unique mix of fractions of specific properties, includes unique and dynamic expiry conditions, includes a high liquidity and affordability and/or includes an ability to be transferred without ownership registry.
- each financial product is associated with an owner, and wherein the method includes trading the financial products by updating the owner of the financial product.
- the financial products are tradable in their own right, and can be bought and sold by investors, allowing investors to realise their investment, prior to expiry dates of the security items, and hence providing greater flexibility for investors.
- each financial product is assigned with a secure and unique identifier
- the method includes trading the financial products by transferring the product’s secure and unique identifier from the seller to the buyer of the financial product.
- the method includes performing the manufacturing process using one or more processing devices by generating starting data indicative of the plurality of ownership items, storing the starting data in a data store, transforming the starting data to generate end financial product data indicative of the end financial products and storing the end financial product data.
- the transformation is typically performed by generating and storing security item data indicative of each security item using the ownership item data, generating and storing security pool item data indicative of each security pool item using the security item data, generating and storing security pool fraction item data indicative of each security pool fraction item using the security pool item data and generating and storing the end financial product data using the security pool fraction item data. Accordingly, this process typically involves the physical transformation of electronic articles, which effectively have their own mass and matter, and hence corresponds to the physical transformation of physical products.

- a single external interface 434 is shown, this is for the purpose of example only, and in practice multiple interfaces using various methods (e.g. Ethernet, serial, USB, wireless or the like) may be provided.
- the microprocessor 431 executes instructions in the form of applications software stored in the memory 432 to allow for communication with the processing systems 210, as well as to allow user interaction for example through a suitable user interface.
- the client devices 230 may be formed from any suitable processing system, such as a suitably programmed PC, Internet terminal, lap-top, or hand-held PC, and in one preferred example is either a tablet, or smart phone, or the like.
- the client device 230 is a standard processing system such as an Intel Architecture based processing system, which executes software applications stored on non volatile (e.g., hard disk) storage, although this is not essential.
- the client devices 230 can be any electronic processing device such as a microprocessor, microchip processor, logic gate configuration, firmware optionally associated with implementing logic such as an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or any other electronic device, system or arrangement.
- one or more processing systems 210 are servers, which communicate with the client devices 230 via a communications network, or the like, depending on the particular network infrastructure available.
- the servers 210 typically execute applications software for performing required tasks including storing, searching and processing of data, with actions performed by the servers 210 being performed by the processor 311 in accordance with instructions stored as applications software in the memory 312 and/or input commands received from a user via the I/O device 313, or commands received from the client device 230.
- GUI Graphic User Interface
- Actions performed by the client devices 230 are performed by the processor 331 in accordance with instructions stored as applications software in the memory 332 and/or input commands received from a user via the I/O device 333.
- one or more ownership items are acquired, typically by having representatives of a managing entity negotiate agreements with property owners, with the server being used to generate ownership item data at step 505, including an ownership item identifier associated with the respective real property and details of one or more of a purchase price, a transfer of rights to a managing entity, a right of occupancy and occupancy charge for a current property owner and a purchase price offset.
- the ownership item data is then stored, for example in a database 240, at step 510.
- the ownership stakes are purchased by the Managing entity from suppliers (homeowners) as items of inventory, or raw material. These ownership items represent the starting material in the process, with each ownership item having a set financial value based on the specific properties they carry, with each ownership item being represented by individual static sets of data stored on a physical carrier (server).
- suppliers homeowners
- server physical carrier
- the server 210 extracts the ownership title elements from ownership items to create security items, with associated data being generated and stored at steps 520 and 525.
- ownership items are consumed in the production of security items, with these security items being assigned with certain properties with the addition of an expiration date.
- the security item data includes a unique security item identifier associated with the security item, and a record of the ownership item identifier associated with the underlying ownership item on which the security item is based.
- the security item data also includes attributes, such as the expiry date, the proportion of the respective ownership item owned, the stake type and/or the values, such as a market or other values associated with the ownership.
- each security item is a financial asset that carries attributes and economic value of the underlying property stake.
- the economic value of each security item includes two key components, namely a value, such as a market or other value, of the property stake and the value, such as a market or other value, of the occupancy charge.
- Each of these two components represent a fixed share in the value, such as a market or other value, of the underlying property stake.
- the value of each security item equals the current value, such as a market or other value, of the specific ownership stake it represents, so the value of the security item will increase as the value of the respective real property increases.
- each individual security item (including the property stake and occupancy charge), as component of production material, contributes to determining the total economic value of the end financial product, which consists of a face value and financial return, with the face value portion being determined by the cost of acquiring raw material, and the financial return is determined by the cumulative change in the value, such as a market or other value, of that cost.
- Security items are protected by a custodial arrangement to provide additional independent oversight for the benefit of investors, with the security items providing a warranty (guarantee) of the value of the end financial products. It will be appreciated that as security items form a component of the end financial products, security items are an instrument of easily accessible investment into a large pool of properties without costs and burdens of direct ownership. As a component of the end financial products, security items are also an instrument for attracting a wide variety of investors.
- the security item data includes information relating the security item back to the underlying ownership item on which the security item is based, so that each security item is traceable through the production process, from their creation from raw material, through consumption during the assembly of security pool items, and to the manufacture of end consumable financial products.
- this is achieved by applying blockchain technology which allows to create permanent and tamper-proof records of unique transactional data about each security item.
- the specific structure of security items include a number of variations, which carries additional economic value based on the quality of each structure and its unique components, that is passed on to the end financial product. Additionally, the occupancy charge has a dynamic value as it represents a fixed share in the ownership stake, and therefore follows the value, such as a market or other value, of the property. This creates a highly probable potential for significant value increase that is passed on to the owners of the end financial products.
- Security items provide portability of end financial products by removing the legal title hurdle, thus creating a high liquidity - high return financial asset.
- Security items as a means of indirect ownership, add value beyond their own to the various types of investors, as they remove some common barriers for investments to residential housing. For example, foreign ownership rules are implemented to protect the pool of available residential housing to local citizens. As the end financial product has a finite life and does not allow occupancy rights to investors, there is no impact on availability of residential pool for local citizens. This also allows access to much needed foreign capital and opens an otherwise closed investment opportunity.
- Each security item being a component material of the end financial product, will contain block-chain data, which will tie security items to their respective financial product on one side and the unique ingredients of the raw materials (ownership stakes) on the other. This will also allow the end financial products to live separately from the exchange, be traded independently of the exchange and be recognisable by the exchange at maturity for collection of returns. This flexibility and independence add additional financial value to the end financial product.
- the server 210 selects single or multiple security items, and uses these to create security pool items at step 535.
- Corresponding security pool item data is generated at step 540, including a unique security pool item identifier and security item identifiers associated with the single or multiple security items that form the security pool item, with this being stored at step 545.
- security items are assembled into new items called security pool items, with selection of the security items being used to perform a quality control process through application of certain criteria.
- the specific criteria used in assembling the security pool items result in the creation of additional economic value over and above the value of the combined underlying security items, which is akin to the process of manufacturing brass from copper and zinc, where the resulting brass product acquires new properties compared to the base components of copper and zinc.
- the server 210 segments the security pool items to thereby generate security pool fraction items.
- Corresponding security pool fraction item data is generated at step 555, including a unique security pool fraction item identifier and security pool item identifiers associated with the security pool item from which the security pool fraction items are created, with this being stored at step 560.
- the security pool fraction items become base component material for creating financial products.
- Associated financial product data is created at step 565, including a financial product identifier, a security pool fraction item identifier of the associated security pool fraction item, a security pool item identifier of the associated security pool item, and security item identifiers of the associated security items, with this being stored at step 570.
- security pool items are then utilised in the bill of material and consumed in the production of financial product items by splitting the security pool items in sequence and based on the set criteria into security pool fraction items, which in turn become base component material of financial product items.
- Each financial product item contains its unique manufacturing history and information, which in one example is stored in an encrypted blockchain and can additionally and/or alternatively be incorporated into the financial product.
- the process of splitting security pool items into security pool fraction items using security pool fraction items as base component material of financial products includes application of certain criteria which results in further increase of the retail value of the financial product items over the value of the underlying security pool items and security pool fraction items through added liquidity and access to wider pool of investors, including retail investors. An example of this can be the value added in the bottling of fine spirits.
- this step of splitting security pool items into smaller fractions to produce end financial products adds further value and results in end financial products that provide a unique and affordable means for individual investors to access a portfolio of investments in multiple properties that carry unique sets of values, attributes and returns, which is not available elsewhere.
- the new financial product items have their own unique properties that are different from the security items, security pool items and security pool fraction items, and can be marketed independently.
- the nature of the resulting financial product items can be such as for example debt or equity securities or a combination of these .
- the end financial products are sold through an in-house online offering solution, which allows individual customer accounts that collect necessary information and are linked to the above system and process to facilitate dynamic performance updates in relation to the current products held by the customer, as well as predictions of future economic returns based on a custom set of algorithms.
- the on-line market allows individual investors to trade and receive “live” information about their trading position and the estimate value of their investments and enables investors to easily perform multiple trades that produce desired economic outcome in a form of financial gains that can be converted into physical effect (cash) or other physical items that can be acquired from the proceeds of the trade.
- Financial products can also be taken out of the exchange and held independently by investors and/or could be traded outside of the exchange e.g., in an electronic wallet. Financial products then only need to be presented and verified at expiration date in order to receive financial returns.
- blockchain can be used to create a transactional history, which in turn adds additional economic value to the security items as it ensures the secure and specific determination of their value as a cost component.
- the financial products can be directly traded between first and second users, acting as a seller and buyer, and an example of this will now be described with reference to Figure 6.
- the first user acquires the financial product, for example purchasing this from an online marketplace or similar, as described above.
- the financial product is encrypted using a first encryption key belonging to the first user at step 610. This prevents third parties access the financial product, meaning the financial product is now securely owned by the first user.
- the first user decides to sell the product to a second user at step 620.
- the first user decrypts the financial product using a first decryption key at step 630.
- the decryption and encryption keys could be the same key if a symmetric encryption approach is used, or could be different if the encryption is asymmetrical.
- ownership details within the financial product could be updated, for example to record the transfer of ownership from the first user to the second user.
- This information could also be stored elsewhere, for example, in a blockchain or similar, to allow for independent verification of the ownership change, although this may not be required, depending on the preferred implementation.
- the financial product is encrypted using a second encryption key associated with the second user, thereby securing the financial product for the second user, and meaning the financial product can only be unlocked using a second decryption key.
- the above arrangements provide a process for manufacturing financial products, based on a starting material in the form of an ownership stake in a residential real property.
- the resulting financial products can then be used as an investment vehicle, and can be bought and sold with economic gain, before expiration converts the financial product into a financial return.
- the process includes acquiring a plurality of ownership items, each ownership item being in respect of a particular residential real property and using the ownership items to generate end financial products. This is achieved by transforming ownership items into a plurality of security items, each representing a fixed proportion of a value of the respective ownership item and including unique expiry conditions of each respective ownership item.
- each security pool item including single or multiple security items, with these then being split into a plurality of security pool fraction items.
- a plurality of tradable and/or transferable financial products are then created from security pool fraction items as base components, each batch of financial products have its own unique value based on the attributes of the underlying security pool fraction items.
- US 2019/0287195 describes equity sharing between ownerand investor, with apurpose of entering the house market (buyers) or long-term investment return (investors).
- ownership stakes are held through a property specific trust and equity sharing agreements. This approach is therefore a direct-specific approach that results in long-term property ownership.
- CN 108428168 is a rental investment scheme that operates through joint ownership titles (equity stakes). Ownership stakes are implemented through special contracts, leading to direct-specific security items and a long-term property ownership approach. Differences are similar to those outlined with respect to US 2019/0287195, with this additionally only being used for rental with block-chain technology only used for recording house contracts.
- US 2009/0164360 describes a joint property investment approach using a residence right and investment security (equity). This is another form of direct-specific security and again requires long-term property ownership. Differences are similar to those outlined above for US 2019/0287195, with further differences including that this uses securitised items representing security claims not separable from the underlying single real estate property, different terms of property sharing and a different investment return structure.
- WO 2008/103901 describes a joint investment scheme in commercial properties through tenancy-in-common title, with stocks in entities jointly investing into commercial real estate. This results in direct-specific securities, with the investment being a long or short term stock holding. Further differences include:
- WO 2020/236638 describes a system of managing real estate transactions through fractionalisation and tokenisation of asset ownership, using a block-chain based network of multiple franchisees issuing own tokens and subject to voting and consensus of key stakeholders.
- Asset token represent an ownership stake in a single item of a specific real estate, a type of equity security. This is a direct-specific security with the investment being a short or long term real -estate investment.
- Transferable asset relates to an “asset token” - a digital record of full or fractional ownership of a single real estate property, i.e. equity stake, as such is a form of a legal title.
- Smart contract is linked to the legal ownership of the real estate asset; therefore every change of ownership requires updating of the smart contract with the asset registry.
- Asset tokens are not created from multiple fractions of multiple real estate properties, combined in a unique way.
- Asset tokens do not undergo any manufacturing process resulting in a creation of a new product with different properties and risk profiles.
- a debt instrument only exists in a form of a non-tradable “sub-token”, being a loan financing the purchase of the real estate asset, it is inseparable from the master asset (asset token) and if secured, such claim extends only to one real estate item.
- ownership opportunities for investors is mostly through equity - direct or indirect. Where there is no ownership for investors, a mortgage security is applied, and there is typically some form of debt exposure for homeowners, and a homeowner does not maintain clear and separate ownership of their asset.
