Abstract
A method and system of conducting transactions in securities provides a measure of economic benefit to the issuing entity whenever a security issued by the entity is involved in a transaction. For example, an entity issuing stock may receive a measure of economic benefit whenever the stock is traded between third parties on a stock exchange. A computer system or computer program running on a computer system forming a computerized exchange may be provided to enable transactions in securities and to calculate a measure of economic benefit payable to the issuing entity for transactions involving securities issued by that entity. The measure of economic benefit may take the form of any benefit to the issuing entity or of detriment to one of the other parties or intermediaries involved in the transaction.
