Methods and systems for ring-fencing assets of an investment fund. The investment fund may issue interest of a first interest type in the fund to investors. When one or more investors seek to redeem their interests and the aggregate value of the interest sought to be redeemed is greater than the redemption amount available from the fund, the redemption-requesting investors may be issued interests in the fund of a second interest type. The quantity and value of the interest of the second type issued may be based on the pro rata share of the redemption-requesting investor's interest in the assets of the fund at the time that the interests are issued. The assets of the fund as of the conversion date are ring fenced. Income attributable from the ring-fenced assets after the conversion date and/or proceeds derived from the disposition of ring-fenced assets after the conversion date is distributed to the investors having the second interest type. This process of income distribution and redemption of interests upon liquidation of investments may continue until all investments within the ring fence have been liquidated.
