20090112633Systems and methods for securitizing longevity risk - A system for structuring credit support in connection with life insurance premium finance loans and securitizing longevity risk includes a trust having a life insurance policy and a premium finance loan from a lender that finances the cost of the premiums of the life insurance policy. The life insurance policy is used as collateral for the premium finance loan. The trust provides to the lender additional collateral in the form of a letter of credit or other forms of collateral to cover any shortfall between the balance and the policy cash surrender value. A longevity risk fund provides the credit support by entering into a collateral support agreement with the trust through a credit source. The longevity risk fund receives compensation in the form of risk adjusted return on exposure, in exchange for providing the additional collateral. The cash flows received from the credit support obligations are then securitized through the transfer of the related collateral support agreements (either by legal transfer or economic participation) to a special purpose vehicle that issues securities (either equity or debt) to the capital markets.04-30-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120275530OPEN LOOP SPATIAL PROCESSING - Methods and apparatus for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions are disclosed. A base station may precode wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)-specific reference signals and data that are transmitted to a WTRU using a randomly selected precoder. The precoder may be selected based on a predefined precoder selection sequence or by the base station. A different precoder may be applied to different resource blocks (RBs). In addition, a large delay cyclic delay diversity (CDD) or discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading may be applied on the WTRU-specific reference signals and the data. For heterogeneous deployed antennas, spatial diversity gain is achieved by dynamically scheduling resources between transmission points. A hopping scheme may be applied across the transmission points as the resources are dynamically partitioned between the transmission points. A different randomly selected precoder may be applied to each RB transmitted from a different transmission point.11-01-2012
