Abstract: The present invention is a system that creates indices based on the “buy, sell and hold” research recommendations of research firms, tracks the performance of those indices, and allows clients to search for top performing indices according to a variety of search parameters and filters through a proprietary text navigation searching mechanism. Once the indices are created it can be offered to investors for a fee. The fee compensates the research firm and is defined by a fee structure that varies based on the method of compensation selected.
