First Claim
1. An apparatus for use in a real-time financial market portfolio monitoring system, for continuously valuing a data collection comprising a first plurality of data items, the apparatus comprising:
- storage means for storing the first plurality of data items, said storage means further storing a second plurality of data items, each data item of the first plurality having assigned a respective one of the data items of the second plurality, each data item of the second plurality representing an individual data item value;
an interface module for establishing data connections to receive input data; and
a processor for continuously updating data items of the second plurality stored in said storage means based upon the received input data, and calculating a data collection value for the data collection based on data item values of the updated data items;
wherein the apparatus further comprises;

Abstract
A real-time financial market portfolio monitoring technique is provided where a data collection is continuously valued. The data collection comprises a first plurality of data items that are stored. Each data item of the first plurality has assigned a respective one of data items of a second plurality that are also stored. Each data item of the second plurality represents an individual data item value. One or more of at least two data sources are connected to receive input data. Stored data items of the second plurality are continuously updated based upon the received input data. A data collection value for the data collection is calculated based on data item values of the updated data items. The technique may be used to calculate net asset values of portfolios in real-time.
