• software executing on a computer for generating a score for each of at least a two or more of the financial indicators for a target investment relative to a reference set of the investments;
• software executing on said computer for determining a comparison set including at least one of the plurality investments;
• software executing on said computer for generating a score for the at least two or more of the financial indicators for the comparison set relative to the reference set;
• software executing on said computer for generating a display of the scores for the target investment;
• wherein the display comprises a radar chart including an a-xsray extending radially from a center point of said radar chart for each of the least two or more of the financial indicators, wherein each of the scores is plotted along one of the a-xe srays;
• and wherein said radar chart is divided into two or more sections wherein each of the sections corresponds to one of the categories.

A method for scoring and evaluating financial investments, comprising the steps of:

• receiving, on a computer, a selection of a target investment;
• determining, via software executing on the computer, a reference set of investments;
• receiving a plurality of financial indicators for the target investment and the reference set of investments;
• generating, via software executing on the computer, a score for each of at least a two or more of the financial indicators for the target investment relative to the reference set;
• determining one or more comparison investments;
• generating, via software executing on the computer, a numerical score for the at least two or more of the financial indicators for the comparison investments;
• generating, via software executing on the computer, a display comprising a radar chart including arav extending radially from a center point of said radar chart for each of the at least two or more of the financial indicators, wherein said radar chart is divided into two or more sections wherein each of the section corresponds to a category of financial indicators;
• and displaying each score along the a-x, srav corresponding to the financial indicator pertaining to the score.
