Abstract
A method of identifying potential targets (i.e., buyers, investors, sellers, or acquisition targets) for a financial transaction. The method enables a user to specify at least one investment criteria based on which to run a search to identify the prospective targets, and to select a universe within which to search for the prospective targets. The method also enables the user to specify a type of financial transaction. A scoring algorithm that is used to score the results of the search is selected based on the user's specification of the type of financial transaction.
