Abstract:
A method and vehicle for funding retained obligations in accordance with the principles of the present invention comprises pooling of investments from investors in an investment vehicle. No single investor's assets will be traced in any manner, including for purposes of measuring or allocating gain or loss. The investors share any gain or loss in accordance with their interest in the investment vehicle. The investment vehicle invests its assets with a preference for commercial paper of one or more interest holders of the investors; provided, that there is no requirement that the investment vehicle must buy a specific amount of any interest holders' commercial paper, or buy any interest holders' commercial paper at any specific time and the investment vehicle will not guarantee that a specific amount of contribution in the investment vehicle will equal a specific investment in commercial paper of an interest holder. The holding of commercial paper of any single interest holder does not make up a significant portion of the total investment of the investment vehicle. In one preferred embodiment, the method and vehicle for finding retained obligations in accordance with the present invention is directed to an investment vehicle for captive insurance companies, where the investment vehicle preferably invests in the commercial paper of a policyholder or the ultimate parent and/or subsidiaries and/or affiliates of a captive insurance company.
