Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating scenarios and user interface elements representing valuations of instruments under the scenarios are described. The systems and methods use expert polling systems and machine learning rules to generate tree data storage structures representing different scenarios of macro factors for outcomes of events. Machine implemented interfaces for expert polling, presentment of scenarios, and interaction with scenarios are also provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for storing and updating financial data, receiving and processing report requests and generating reports using a cloud based parallel platform with multiple sets of processor engines. The platform arranges atomic elements in a cube or data lake based on a common data model for instruments. The platform uses a set of processor engines to asynchronously update the atomic elements. The platform uses another set of processor engines to asynchronously aggregate a portion of the atomic elements to generate output data in response to on-demand reports.

Abstract: Systems and methods for benchmarking collected or computed environmental data for one or more entities. The systems and methods involve determining a distribution for historical environmental data for the entity, collecting current environmental data for the entity, and generating, using the processor, a graphical representation benchmarking the current environmental data against the historical environmental data, wherein the graphical representation comprises the data segments and represents the current environmental data at a position within one of the segments, where the data segments are calculated using the distribution.

Abstract: Systems and methods for incentives which involve receiving a contribution from a user or through a value card, wherein the contribution enables the user to be eligible for an incentive upon completing an event; monitoring user activities to detect the occurrence of the event, wherein the event is a socially beneficial task completed by the user; and providing the incentive to the user or the value card associated with the user upon detecting the occurrence of the event. In accordance with some embodiments, the systems and methods may involve calculating at least one emission value for emissions generated by the incentive, wherein the event and incentive are associated with raw activity data; and calculating at least one offset value to offset the emissions generated by the incentive using the at least one emission value for emissions generated by the incentive.

Abstract: A system and method for valuing a portfolio in terms of its performance relative to a specified benchmark under a range of future scenarios is disclosed. In particular, a portfolio is taken and two values related to the portfolio are calculated: the first value corresponding to an amount by which the value of the portfolio is expected to fall below the value of a benchmark over a given time horizon, and a second value corresponding to an amount by which the value of the portfolio is expected to exceed the value of a benchmark over a given time horizon, in view of the range of different future scenarios. Means for determining the portfolio which optimally trades-off these two values, and to evaluate risk/reward performance measures using these two values which can be used to rank instruments, securities or portfolios are disclosed. Means for pricing portfolio insurance for optimal portfolios are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system of providing a three dimensional spatial user interface (SUI) to a user of a computing device. The SUI may be manipulated in three dimensions and contains a plurality of portals. A portal may contain a sensory cue that provides a reminder as to the content of the portal. Upon selection of a portal, an application program associated with the cue in the portal is invoked. Portals may also contain further instances of the SUI of the present invention, thus providing hierarchical depth. In the preferred embodiment, the SUI is implemented as a sphere and may be viewed from an external or internal perspective.

Abstract: A risk management system and method of determining a risk metric for a portfolio of instruments is provided. The system and method include a database wherein determined risk values for instruments in a set of instruments under each scenario can be maintained. At least one risk engine can be employed to determine values for the instruments and at least one aggregation engine can be employed to produce desired risk metrics for the set of instruments or a subset thereof. Each risk engine and each aggregation engine is connected to the database by an appropriate network.
