Abstract

An investment management computer system is configured to communicate with data vendors or electronic accounting systems. The system may include an electronic application server having logic for performing analysis of an investment portfolio including aggregating a plurality of securities in the investment portfolio by security type, portfolio monitoring, and reporting holdings of the portfolio. The application server may further include data load logic for receiving either a completely refreshed data set or an incrementally refreshed data set; validating the received data to promote a complete transmission and to promote a correct as-of-date transmission for the received data; and, updating the data stored in the database server database with the received data.

Dependent claims

An investment management computer system in electronic communication with an electronic portfolio accounting system, the investment management computer system comprising:

an electronic application server, the application server having logic configured to perform at least the following electronically:
portfolio analysis of an investment portfolio, wherein the portfolio analysis includes aggregating a plurality of securities in the investment portfolio by security type;
reporting at least one holding of the investment portfolio to an authenticated user of the investment management computer system that accesses the investment management computer system with a user computer device via an electronic data communication network;
calculating one or more performance metrics related to at least one holding of the investment portfolio;
