Abstract: A method of analytically modeling structured products and optimizing portfolios of structured products, comprising: relating investors' financial risk/reward objectives to structured products available in an structured product database; selecting structured products that qualify for inclusion in an structured product pool that targets to meet investors' objectives; and using advanced analytical computer aided techniques including Monte-Carlo analytical simulation to evaluate risk/reward characteristics of different portfolios of structured products and determining the optimal mix of available structured products for inclusion in an structured product pool that targets a specified set of investors' risk/reward objectives.

Abstract: A method of structuring a guaranteed financial product on a risk asset using a computer comprising: a) introducing a reference asset being another risk asset having a secondary derivative market which is better developed and more liquid than said secondary derivative market of said risk asset; b) analyzing and comparing the volatility level of said risk asset and of said reference asset over a predetermined time period; c) applying an asset adjustment when said volatility level of said risk asset exceeds a predetermined level defined by said volatility level of said reference asset; and d) removing said asset adjustment when said volatility level of said risk asset falls below said predetermined level defined by the volatility level attained in c).
