  • One type of normalization is l/N, where N is the number of investment variables 400.
  • Another type of normalization is to use the standard deviation of all the information in database 6. For this type of normalization, the information analyzing system calculates the standard deviation for each investment variable 400 contained in the database 6 and then divides the investment variable 400 of the particular investment by the standard deviation.

  • the present advancement does not require the input investment variables to be equally weighted. As long as the sum of all the normalization weights is 1, different investment variables 400 could have different weights.

More information with respect to the normalizing unit 404 is provided with respect to FIG. 5.
  • the description vector similarity unit 406 calculates the similarities between description vectors created by the description vector unit 402 and normalized by the normalizing unit 404. As described later, at least one way to determine the similarity between description vectors is to calculate the Euclidean distance between the description vectors. However, another metric for determining the similarity is to use an absolute value metric or any other metric defined by the user of the investment analysis system. The results of the description vectors similarity unit are then transmitted to the investment analysis unit 408.

  • the system determines whether all the variables have been received at step S502. If NO at step S502, the system continues to accept investment variables 400 until the user has finished. If YES at step S502, the system proceeds to step S504 to generate a description vector based on the investment variables and the financial request 400.

  • One option is for the user to specify how to normalize each variable based on the user’s needs.
  • a natural, default, normalization for each piece of data is supplied for the ease of the user.
  • one such natural normalization is to use the standard deviation of all such pieces of information in the database 6. So, for example, if the user requested analysis on a particular stock, and the user’s choices were the p/e ratio, the p/s ratio, and the chance of a 5 day maximum drawdown exceeding 5%, all the p/e ratios would be located in the database 6, their standard deviation would be calculated, and then that particular stock’s p/e ratio would be divided by this standard deviation. Then all the p/s ratios would be located in the database 6, their standard deviation would be calculated, and this stock’s p/s ratio would be divided by that standard deviation. This process is repeated until all the investment variables 400 of the description vector are normalized.

  • the investment could be for a stock, a portfolio, or a mixed bag of various kinds of investments.
  • the Investment Reward Vector should not be the same vector as Investment Risk Vector IRisk.
  • the Investment Risk Vector IRisk represents what the user thinks of as the financial information that goes wrong, or might go wrong, or that which indicates an elevated level of risk.
  • IReward represents that financial information which the user thinks might go right thereby providing a favorable return for the user.
  • BReward represents the“ideal” investment according to the user. For example, if the user is a stock investor and is interested in value, the user may think the best kinds of investments are those where the p/e ratio is less than 10, the price/book is less than 1, the current ratio is greater than 1, and the profit margin is greater than 5%. Thus, the user would create a BReward with those four investment variables 400 and normalize the investment variables 400. A comparison of proposed investments to this“ideal” investment will be described later. [0058] Returning to FIG. 5, after the investment variables 400 have been normalized at step S506, the similarities between the description vectors are calculated at step S508.
  • Another method of calculating the similarity is by using an absolute value similarity metric.
  • each normalized investment variable from each description vector generated by the description vector unit 402 is subtracted from one another and the resultant values are added to obtain a distance between the description vectors.
  • the absolute value of the distance is then determined to obtain a similarity value. For example, to calculate the risk of an investment, the following calculation is performed:
  • Investment advice is then determined by the investment analysis unit 408 based on the results of step S508 and the types of description vectors compared. Provided below are non-limiting examples of investment advice determined by the investment analysis unit 408 based on a variety of financial requests 400 received that relate to investment information.
  • the investment analysis system calculates the similarity between the investment risk vector and the benchmark risk vector. For this analysis, the greater the number calculated from the similarity between the investment risk vector and the benchmark risk vector, the higher the risk of the investment.
  • An investment comparison can also be calculated to provide the user with information on how the current investment compares to an ideal investment.
  • An ideal investment is a predefined investment by the user based on the user’s financial requirements. This is determined by calculating the similarity between the investment reward vector and the benchmark reward vector. For this analysis, the smaller the number calculated from the similarity between the investment reward vector and the benchmark reward vector, the closer the current investment is to the ideal investment and therefore the better the current investment.
  • a list of the best and worst investments out of the group can be calculated. This list is determined by calculating the risk and reward for each investment in the database 6. Next, for each investment, the ratio“(l/reward) / (risk)” is calculated and the investments can be ranked by this number. Accordingly, the investments with the highest ranks are the best and the investments with the lowest ranks are the worst.
  • the best or worst investments can be any type of investment meeting predetermined constraints by the user. For example, a best investment could be one which makes the most short term gain whereas the worst investment could be one with the quickest loss short term.
  • Alternative investments that have a similar risk profile to the current investment can also be calculated. This analysis is performed by calculating the risk for all the investments in the database 6 and finding those investments with a risk value that is closest to the risk value of the current investment. Similarly, alternative investments that have a similar reward profile to the current investment can also be calculated. This analysis is performed by calculating the reward for all the investments in the database 6 and finding those investments with a reward value that is closest to the reward value of the current investment.
  • a user can also build a portfolio with an optimal risk/reward.
  • an optimization routine would find the portfolio that maximized the“(l/reward)/risk” ratio subject to user defined constraints.
  • the user defined constraints can represent certain filters within a portfolio with respect to the investment information.

  • a problem with this scenario is that a user will typically just adjust the values displayed on the stock display screen screens until a certain number of stocks come up when no stocks meet the original stock display screen criteria. This causes problems because often the user is looking for a“common-sense” or“close-enough” match to the screen and adjusts the screens, which can move the user away from obtaining a meaningful screen match. In other words, there isn’t much of a real difference between a stock that grew at 25% and one that grew at 24.5%. For this case, BReward is defined as (60,25,25).
  • One solution afforded by the present advancement is to pick a set of salient investment variables 400 such as the P/S ratio, the P/E ratio, average daily trading volume, and market cap relating to a financial request to determine a financial correlation.
  • the weighted average P/S, P/E, average daily trading volume and market cap of the user’s portfolio is then calculated based on their values in the database 6 and are compared to the values from the database 6 of the same input variables 400 with respect to the S&P 500 In other words, the BReward and the IReward are calculated and compared. If they’re substantially different than zero, then the high correlation to the S&P 500 has nothing to do with being a“closet indexer” and the customer’s concerns can be allayed.
  • the user may determine that a particular stock used to be a“value” stock but is now a“growth” stock because the stock has raised in value significantly. As such, the user may have a problem convincing an investment committee to sell the stock unless the user can show that the stock should not be in the user’s portfolio.
  • a BReward Value and a BReward Growth are calculated by the investment analysis system. Using these calculations, the user can demonstrate that three years ago when the user bought the stock, its BReward Value number was much smaller than its BReward Growth number. However, now the situation is reversed in that the BReward Value is very much larger than BReward Growth. It is important to note in this situation that the BReward Value and BReward Growth vectors need not have the same factors thereby making comparisons very simple for users well versed in the differences between value and growth stocks.
  • the best stocks in the “energy” sector can be calculated by customizing a BRisk and BReward and performing the above-noted procedures for a ranking. If a user is interested in stocks that are“like”, or “closest” to Southern Co, the user determines user-customized investment variables 400 such as Debt/Equity, Price/Sales, Quick Ratio, and Market Cap and creates a BReward with these investment variables 400 for Southern Co.

  • the investment analysis system determines the old IReward and BReward based on these past investment variables 400 values stored in the database 6 and calculates the distance.
  • the investment analysis system takes the portfolio of the fund today and makes the same IReward and BReward but with the current values. At this point the investment analysis system can inform the user whether the distance has changed appreciably.
  • the investment analysis tool can also repeat this process for every past quarter to determine whether the distance calculation suddenly spikes up or drifts up every quarter.
  • a user that wants to buy government debt can determine how much riskier that government debt is as compared to other government debt. For example, assume the user wants to buy Italian government debt but believes that German government debt should be taken to be“risk free”. The user then wants to know how much riskier the Italian government debt is as compared German government debt.
  • the user determines that the investment variables 400 are“percent of debt maturing in the next year”, the“debt/GDP ratio”, the“current account deficit as a percent of GDP”, and“percentage of debt held by foreigners”.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des techniques de représentation graphique d'un certain nombre d'objets de données dans un espace tridimensionnel. Dans un exemple, de multiples objets de données peuvent être représentés et manipulés graphiquement dans un espace à au moins trois dimensions, chaque axe d'une grille tridimensionnelle représentant une ou plusieurs variables des objets de données. Une interface utilisateur graphique peut être proposée, qui permet la configuration de l'affichage (visuel, alphanumérique ou les deux) d'un quelconque nombre de variables associées aux objets de données d'intérêt. L'interface utilisateur graphique peut également proposer des commandes qui permettent la manipulation des objets de données eux-mêmes et leur représentation dans l'espace tridimensionnel. Selon certains aspects, l'interface utilisateur graphique peut proposer des animations des objets de données qui représentent des modifications des valeurs des variables associées aux objets de données au fil du temps de façon à véhiculer plus efficacement des informations sur des tendances.
