Arthur Lipper is acknowledged worldwide as an innovator in the field of financial services. He pioneered breakthroughs in the fields of mutual fund analysis and stock index futures.

Mr. Lipper formed two New York Stock Exchange member firms, Arthur Lipper Corporation and New York & Foreign Securities, and served both as Chairman. These firms specialized in serving institutional investors, and their services included the creation of mutual fund investment performance analysis. The firms were members of the major U.S. securities exchanges, and a number of commodity futures exchanges, and transacted hundreds of millions of dollars of business. Mr. Lipper also served on the Securities Industry Association Education Committee.

In 1969, Arthur Lipper Corporation filed the first prospectus for a Stock Index Fund and subsequently, through its subsidiary, Forward Contract Exchange Company in Amsterdam, the company conceived and initiated trading Stock Index Futures. The firm also created a stock loan department to serve its institutional clients, unique for its time. The company had offices in New York, London, Washington, Amsterdam, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Singapore and Tokyo, and was actively involved in Australia.

Arthur Lipper Corporation began investing in privately owned companies, including Venture Magazine, where Mr. Lipper served as Editor-in-Chief. He has lectured at many prominent universities, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Georgetown, and has written books on investing in privately owned companies, entrepreneurship and the management of early stage companies. His books include “Investing in Private Companies,” Thriving Up and Down the Free Market Food Chain,” “The Guide for Investing Angels,” and “The Larry and Barry Guide to Entrepreneurial Wisdom.” These books and more are available at Amazon.com

Mr. Lipper’s personal experience as a business owner, and insights from the research of Venture, allowed him to develop a broad range of knowledge about entrepreneurs, and the problems of managing young companies.

British Far East Holdings is an investment banking and consulting firm directed by Arthur Lipper and his wife, Anni Lipper. The company developed a proprietary method of financing companies through royalties, which was awarded a U.S. Patent. Mr. Lipper also developed the methodology to implement a public Royalty Exchange, to manage and monetize Exchange Traded Royalties. This innovation was driven by Mr. Lipper’s concern that financing of many private companies might be better accomplished through a share of revenues, rather than through the traditional means of selling equity or incurring debt.

Detailed descriptions, and a working model of royalty financing, are available at REXRoyaltyFinancingCalculator.com, and a public dialog for those interested in discussing royalties is available at REXRoyaltyDialogueExchange.com An invewstment fund intended for US investors has been initiated; full information at the Pacific Royalties website: http://www.pacificroyalties.com A video interview conducted by Bloomberg Network is available at http://www.mediasense.com/arthur-lipper/bloomberg-video.html
