         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein each of the entries associated with an investment includes:
 an identifier for the investment;   information representative of a fund associated with the investment;   information representative of a user associated with the investment; and   a link to one or more documents that represent a completion of the investment between a fund associated with the investment and the user associated with the investment.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein each of the entries associated with an investment includes:
 an identifier for the investment;   information representative of a fund associated with the investment; and   information representative of a user associated with the investment.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein each of the entries associated with an investment includes:
 an identifier for the investment;   information representative of a fund associated with the investment; and   information representative of a user associated with the investment; and   information identifying a status of the workflow associated with the investment.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein providing the identified information to a workflow managed by the unified investment management system includes causing a user interface provided by the unified investment management system to present a fund profile interface that displays investments managed by a specific fund that is associated with the investment
