Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods and computer program products for automatically reallocating assets by directing assets from a primary fund to secondary fund, where the primary and secondary funds have distinct but complementary investment strategies. For example, to reallocate assets held in a primary portfolio of a mutual fund, embodiments of the present invention create a secondary portfolio within the mutual fund. Then, using earnings from the primary portfolio, embodiments of the present invention purchase at least one asset to be held in the secondary portfolio and grow that asset by continuing to direct earnings from the primary portfolio to the secondary portfolio. When the asset reaches a predetermined size, embodiments of the present invention transfer the asset to a newly created and separately managed mutual fund.
