A user (1-1) will select a portfolio of securities to be protected, and the account to be shielded is devised by the computer-based system and executed and transacted for the user. The portfolio is then analyzed and prices the requested shielding in a variety of different manners. The user (1-1) then selects the protection desired and the payment method, and the securities shielded are then held in the system or a third party custodial arrangement (1-7) or noted as the selected reference securities in connection with a virtual portfolio.</p> |
