Automated Risk Monitoring Method and System

Abstract

The invention relates to an automated risk monitoring method and a corresponding risk monitoring system for automated risk monitoring, in the case of which control data for different companies are transferred to a monitoring unit and evaluated, a company specific asset distribution and a corresponding threshold value being determined, said threshold value corresponding to the expected value of the asset parameter for the occurrence of the insolvency of a company, recovery rate factors being determined by means of a standardization module of the monitoring unit, and wherein, using a MonteCarlo module of the monitoring unit ( 20 ), MonteCarlo asset parameters are generated for each company by means of which the companies with the lowest expected recovery rate factors are determined and dynamic adjustment of the portfolio accordingly made by means of the monitoring unit.

       9 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising broadcasting the lowest expected recovery rate factor. 
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein access to the broadcast is centrally managed. 
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the method is at least partially implemented in a wireless environment. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising automatically purchasing a security representing an interest in an individual entity, represented in the portfolio, to adjust the portfolio's risk exposure. 
   
   
       13 . Computer readable media comprising computer executable instructions that, when implemented by a computing system, direct the computing system to:
 extract one or more asset parameters, on a entity-specific basis, from control data for individual entities represented in the portfolio;   stochastically evaluate the one or more asset parameters to determine at least one entity-specific asset distribution;   determine a threshold value based on the least one entity-specific asset distribution for storage;   store an association with the threshold value, if the threshold value is equivalent to an expected value of one or mores asset parameters associated with an entity's insolvency;   generate MonteCarlo asset parameters for individual entities, represented in the portfolio, to determine expected recovery rate factors;   standardize recovery rate factors for the individual entities, represented in the portfolio, for the at least one entity-specific asset distribution; and   display the expected recovery rate factors for the individual entities.   
   
   
       14 . The computer readable media of  claim 13  further comprising centrally manage security for display of the expected recovery rate factors. 
   
   
       15 . The computer readable media of  claim 13  store a lowest expected recovery rate factor in association with the portfolio. 
   
   
       16 . The computer readable media of  claim 13  further comprising automatically order a security for an individual entity to rebalance the portfolio's risk factor.
