Getty aims to help mutual funds with a perennial problem: how to cover redemptions without borrowing from a bank or selling off assets and paying the commissions and capital-gains taxes -- both costly solutions that erode returns.
When Getty first got interested in mutual funds in the early 1990s, he wrote a paper for the Brookings Institution in which he argued that inflation could be licked by replacing national currencies with mutual funds.
Getty's ideas may be interesting, but whether they work in practice is far from guaranteed, especially when changes in human behavior are required.

Gordon and Paul enjoyed comfortable but hardly rich lifestyles made possible by stipends from the Sarah C. Getty Trust, created by the oilman's mother because she doubted his willingness to provide for her grandchildren.

The Gordon P. Getty Family Trust is governed by a board of trustees composed of Gordon and his four sons, Andrew, Peter, John, and Billy.
