Abstract

There is provided a computer system having a module for controlling a processor to receive a request via a network for a risk analysis of an investment, pass the request to a risk analysis engine, receive a result of the risk analysis from the risk analysis engine, and send the result to a client device via the network.

Claims

1. A computer system comprising a module for controlling a processor to:

receive a request via a network for a risk analysis of an investment;

pass said request to a risk analysis engine;

receive a result of said risk analysis from said risk analysis engine; and

send said result to a client device via said network.

2. A computer system comprising a module for controlling a processor to:

receive a request via a network for a risk analysis of an investment;

pass said request to a risk analysis engine;

receive a result of said risk analysis from said risk analysis engine; and

send said result to a client device via said network,

wherein said module is embodied in an application program interface (API).

3. The computer system of claim 2, wherein said request is embodied in an API call.

4. The computer system of claim 2, wherein said request includes data describing said investment.

5. The computer system of claim 2,

wherein said risk analysis engine includes a plurality of risk analysis functions, and

wherein said request includes data that selects a member of said plurality of risk analysis functions.

6. A computer system comprising:

a processor;

a risk analysis engine for controlling said processor to perform a risk analysis of an investment; and

an application program interface (API) for controlling said processor to;

(a) receive an API call via a network, wherein said API call includes a request for said risk analysis;

(b) pass said request to said risk analysis engine;

(c) receive a result of said risk analysis from said risk analysis engine; and

(d) send said result to a client device via said network,

wherein said request includes data describing said investment,

wherein said risk analysis engine includes a plurality of risk analysis functions, and

wherein said request includes data that selects a member of said plurality of risk analysis functions.

7. A storage media containing instructions for controlling a processor, said storage media comprising instructions for controlling said processor to:

receive a request for a risk analysis of an investment;

pass said request to a risk analysis engine;

receive a result of said risk analysis from said risk analysis engine; and

send said result to a client device via said network.

10. The storage media of claim 7, wherein said request includes data describing said investment.

11. The storage media of claim 7,

wherein said risk analysis engine includes a plurality of risk analysis functions, and

wherein said request includes data that selects a member of said plurality of risk analysis functions.

8. A storage media containing instructions for controlling a processor, said storage media comprising instructions for controlling said processor to:

receive a request for a risk analysis of an investment;

pass said request to a risk analysis engine;

receive a result of said risk analysis from said risk analysis engine; and

send said result to a client device via said network,

wherein said instructions are embodied in an application program interface (API).

9. The storage media of claim 8, wherein said request is embodied in an API call.

12. An application program interface (API) for controlling a processor to:

receive a an API call via a network, wherein said API call includes a request for a risk analysis of an investment;

pass said request to a risk analysis engine;

receive a result of said risk analysis from said risk analysis engine; and

send said result to a client device via said network,

wherein said request includes data describing said investment,

wherein said risk analysis engine includes a plurality of risk analysis functions, and

wherein said request includes data that selects a member of said plurality of risk analysis functions.
