Computer Implemented Method for Compiling a Portfolio Of Assets

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing machine readable code which, when executed by a processor, causes an electronic processing device to implement the steps of:

• generating a plurality of first generation portfolios from a plurality of available solutions, wherein each of said plurality of first generation portfolios is generated by random selection of one or more of said plurality of available solutions;
• applying a random percentage weighting to each of said randomly selected solutions, but where the sum of the random percentage weightings is arranged to equal 100%;
• calculating a score for each of the plurality of first generation portfolios, the score for each of said plurality of first generation portfolios of assets comprising an aggregate of a plurality of different evaluation factors;
• ranking the plurality of first generation portfolios by their respective scores;
• and
• selecting one or more of said plurality of first generation portfolios based on their respective scores.

A computer based system for automatically compiling a portfolio of assets, the system comprising:

• a computer readable medium storing machine readable code;
• and
• a processor configured to execute said machine readable code to:
• generate a plurality of first generation portfolios of assets from a plurality of available assets, wherein each of said plurality of first generation portfolios is generated by random selection of one or more of said plurality of available assets;
• apply a random percentage weighting to each of said randomly selected assets, but where the sum of the random percentage weightings is arranged to equal 100%;
• calculate a score for each of the plurality of first generation portfolios of assets, the score for each of said plurality of first generation portfolios of assets comprising an aggregate of a plurality of different evaluation factors;
• rank the plurality of first generation portfolios of assets by their respective scores;
• and
• select one or more of said plurality of first generation portfolios of assets based on their respective scores.
