Abstract

The present invention is a novel method simulating and managing an alliance investment portfolio. It begins with the rationalization and creation of select alliances to become assets of an investment portfolio. The assets are categorized into a matrix combination of nine different financial variations that respond to the iterative nature of investment dynamics. Each of the select alliance is subjected to a ball and prism test determining the sustainability of growth of such alliance within the investment portfolio. Finally, the liquidity to be provided by investors to a vertical axis through the center of matrix combination of nine different financial variations in creating spatial representation of liquidity ad leverage relationship for alliance investments. Through the 3×3×3 alliance mix representation, one could derive valuation, pricing and other portfolio management information for alliance portfolio transparently and dynamically.

Claims

1. A method for simulating and managing a portfolio of assets including alliance investments, said method comprising the steps of:

(1) determining the financial fit of a plurality of alliance investments by categorizing thereof according to a 3×

3 matrix nine combinations of alliance mix, financial fit being defined as the existence of synergies of capital structures of between select alliances within a portfolio of alliance investments;

(2) testing each proposed alliance through a geometric test for sustainability of growth, said geometric test correlating the relationship among risk, return expectation, financial instrument and interest cost of said proposed alliance in establishing the asset mix of said portfolio of alliance investment; and

(3) correlating the liquidity to be provided by investors with a vertical axis through the center of said 3×

3 matrix in creating a 3×

3×

3 spatial representation of liquidity and leverage relationship for alliance investments, the inter-relationship amoung the variables corresponding to the market valuation of said alliance investments,

whereby said method provides financial information of said portfolio of alliance investments transparently and dynamically.

2. The method as in claim 1 wherein said each asset comprises at least one portfolio of alliance assets.

3. The method as in claim 1 wherein said 3×

3 matrix of alliance mix has one of its axis corresponding to the range of liquidity to be provided by investors and the other axis corresponding to the range of leverage an alliance asset may be financed.

4. The method as in claim 1 wherein said geometric test comprising the simulation of introducing at least one ball into at least one prism, said ball corresponding to at least one alliance, the weight of said ball being influenced by at least eight elements, said eight elements including at least four variables for enhancing growth and at least four variables for sustaining growth of select alliance, said prism further comprising at least four planes, said planes corresponding to risk, return expected, proposed investment instrument and intrest cost respectively.

5. The geometric test in claim 4 wherein said ball and prism sumulates an iterative process of strengthening the captial structure of an alliance, said ball being first introduced into said prism by bouncing off the risk plane, then to the return expected plane, and finally off the proposed investment instrument plane.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said 3×

3×

3 spatial representation of liquidity and leverage relationship for alliance investments simulates the sustainability of growth of alliance within a portfolio of alliance investment by reconciling the extent of liquidity with the return expected of proposed alliance mix within a predetermined interest environment.

7. The method in claim 1 wherein said 3×

3×

3 spatial representation of liquidity and leverage relationship for alliance investments provides a transparent valuation of securities that are based on a portfolio of alliance investment by determining the weighted average of the performance of said nine combination of alliance mix.

8. The method in claim 1 wherein said 3×

3×

3 spatial representation of liquidity and leverage relationship for alliance investments simulates value creation process by shifting boundaries between cells representing said nine combination of alliance mix and by applying said ball an prism test.

9. The method in claim 1 wherein said 3×

3×

3 spatial representation of liquidity and leverage relationship for alliance investments simulates the market to book value valuation by predicting the secondary effects on remaining eight combination of alliance mix once the performance on one such combination is known and assuming that overall portfolio reverts to equilibrium.

10. The method in claim 1 wherein said the simulation results and information of said alliance mix is provided wirelessly.
