Abstract
The present aspects relate to issuance and management of impact securities. Specifically, in some aspects, an impact security issuer may generate and issue an impact security to one or more entities. The impact security issuer may periodically receive measurable impact data to compare against a threshold set of data. Accordingly, the impact security issuer may provide a monetary amount to an investor based on determining that a change agent entity satisfies the threshold set of data.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at an issuing device including one or more processing components:
- generating an impact security, wherein the impact security includes a first set of metric factors;
- receiving an acquisition request to acquire the impact security from an investor device;
- transferring the impact security to one or both of the investor device or a change agent entity in response to receiving the request to acquire the impact security by the investor device;
- receiving a second set of metric factors associated with the impact security from a third party researcher device;
- determining whether the second set of metric factors satisfy the first set of metric factors;
- and
- transferring a predefined monetary value from the issuer device to the investor device based on a determination that the second set of metric factors satisfy the first set of metric factors.
An electronic device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- one or more programs stored in memory, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- generating an impact security, wherein the impact security includes a first set of metric factors;
- receiving an acquisition request to acquire the impact security from an investor device;
- transferring the impact security to one or both of the investor device or a change agent entity in response to receiving the request to acquire the impact security by the investor device;
- receiving a second set of metric factors associated with the impact security from a third party researcher device;
- determining whether the second set of metric factors satisfy the first set of metric factors;
- and
- transferring a predefined monetary value from the issuer device to the investor device based on a determination that the second set of metric factors satisfy the first set of metric factors.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
- generate an impact security, wherein the impact security includes a first set of metric factors;
- receive an acquisition request to acquire the impact security from an investor device;
- transfer the impact security to one or both of the investor device or a change agent entity in response to receiving the request to acquire the impact security by the investor device;
- receive a second set of metric factors associated with the impact security from a third party researcher device;
- determine whether the second set of metric factors satisfy the first set of metric factors;
- and
- transfer a predefined monetary value from the issuer device to the investor device based on a determination that the second set of metric factors satisfy the first set of metric factors.
