SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR CREATING A TURNOVER EFFICIENT FRONTIER FOR AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing return of an investment fund, based on a relation between assets under management (AUM), fund strategy and turnover, the method comprising:
- (a) generating a turnover efficient frontier for an investment fund that models fund return versus fund turnover for one or more fund sizes from computer simulations based on the characteristics of the fund and historical trading data;
(b) determining a current fund return and a current fund turnover of the fund;
(c) determined a current position of the fund on said turnover efficient frontier based on the current fund return and fund turnover;
(d) determining whether an increase or a decrease in one of fund size or turnover will move the fund to an optimal point on said turnover efficient frontier; and
(e) storing the results of step (d).

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for optimizing return of an investment fund, based on a correlation between AUM and turnover, include steps of generating a turnover efficient frontier for an investment fund that models fund return versus fund turnover for one or more fund sizes; determining a current fund return and fund turnover of the fund; determined a current position of the fund on the turnover efficient frontier based on the current fund return and fund turnover; and determining whether an increase or a decrease in one of fund size or turnover will move the fund to an optimal point on the turnover efficient frontier.

15. A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having stored thereon executable computer instructions for optimizing return of an investment fund, based on a relation between assets under management (AUM), fund strategy and turnover, by performing operations comprising the following steps:
-
(f) generating a turnover efficient frontier for an investment fund that models fund return versus fund turnover for one or more fund sizes from computer simulations based on the characteristics of the fund and historical trading data; (g) determining a current fund return and fund turnover of the fund; (h) determined a current position of the fund on said turnover efficient frontier based on the current fund return and fund turnover; (i) determining whether an increase or a decrease in one of fund size or turnover will move the fund to an optimal point on said turnover efficient frontier; and (j) storing the results of step (d). - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system for optimizing return of an investment fund, based on a correlation between assets under management (AUM) and turnover, the system comprising:
a server facility coupled with an electronic data network and configured to generate a turnover efficient frontier for an investment fund that models fund return versus fund turnover for one or more fund sizes from computer simulations based on the characteristics of the fund and historical trading data, to determine a current fund return and fund turnover of the investment fund, to determine a current position of the fund on said turnover efficient frontier based on the current fund return and fund turnover, to determine whether an increase or a decrease in one of fund size or turnover will move the fund to an optimal point on said turnover efficient frontier, and to store the results of said determination of whether to increase or decrease in data storage facilities. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
