System and Method for Visual and Interactive Determination of Optimal Financing and Refinancing Solutions

The present invention is directed to a system and method for optimizing liability and financial risk positions (e.g., for finance issuers), by determining, in a visual, dynamic, and interactive manner, optimal liability structures and risk exposures for finance issuers (especially in the public sector—e.g., for public finance entities managing capital market risks), given a combination of current market data, market forecasts, and financing constraints. Specifically, the various embodiments of the inventive system and method utilize optimization techniques and methodologies to create financing solutions and, at the same time, enable users to visually and interactively utilize graphical representations of one or more financing solutions, to facilitate a rapid and efficient determination and/or selection of an optimal financing solution. In at least one exemplary embodiment thereof, the inventive system and method may be readily utilized to visually, dynamically, and interactively determine optimal bond sizing, structure and refunding bond selections, for public finance issuers, given a combination of current market data, existing capital structure information, market forecasts, and financing objectives and constraints.
