Methods and apparatus for developing investments

摘要

An apparatus for determining weightings of an investment portfolio selected from a range of domestic and international financial investments comprises: a memory for storing the range in a plurality of industry based groups; an input for definition of a required_industry_weighting for each of the industry based groups; an input for definition of an available_domestic_weighting for each of the industry based groups; a data processor for determining a mixture of financial investments within each of the industry based groups and an output for communication of the mixture of financial investments within each of the industry based groups. the mixture of financial investments consists of exclusively the domestic financial investments if the available_domestic_weighting equals or exceeds the required_industry_weighting or otherwise domestic financial investments having a weighting substantially equal to the available_domestic_weighting and international financial investments having a weighting substantially equal to the required_industry_weighting minus the available_domestic_weighting.
