Method and tool for portfolio monitoring, rebalancing and reporting

Abstract

There is provided a rebalancing tool and method that enables an advisor to monitor client account performance against a client account model, receive alerts out-of-balance client accounts, and preview rebalancing hypothetical results. The rebalancing tool enables the advisor to perform the steps of creating a client model via a web interface and compare the client account against the client model at the asset class level. The rebalancing tool can display out-of-balance client account alerts and out-of-balance client accounts on a rebalancing tool page, and enable a user to test a rebalancing hypothetical that includes modifications to the percentage asset allocation or percentage tolerance threshold at the asset class level, and planned trades to the client account. The rebalancing tools enables a user to prepare rebalancing hypothetical results that may then be presented to the client for approval. The rebalancing hypothetical results can include calculated results for risk grade, diversification benefit, Gain/Loss.
