Patent US 8,239,305

Investors find assistance with determining and/or evaluating relative positions of investments with respect to a variety of evaluation parameters and attributes obtained from a number of data sources. In one embodiment, this involves graphically displaying the relative positions (or locations) of investments with respect to one another and with respect to selectable evaluation parameters and benchmarks for such assets. In some cases, the graphical displays are accompanied by analytical comments that further explain or amplify the information being conveyed graphically.
