A method for determining weightings of an investment portfolio selected
from a plurality of domestic and international financial investments is
provided. The method divides domestic and international financial
investments into a plurality of industry groups, selecting one of the
industry groups, and determining a reguired industry weighting as well as
an available domestic weighting for the selected industry group. A
mixture of investments can then be determined based on the reguired
industry weighting and the available domestic weighting, and the process
is repeated for all available industry groups.
