An information release notification is provided using an event manager, reports, information notification messages, an investor events database, and a personal computing device. The personal computing device and event manager are preferably implemented in a client-server architecture providing electronic messaging and web pages over an electronic network such as the Internet. The events manager receives new information releases from an external information service over the network. Information releases are stored in the investor events database and reviewed by the events manager for the occurrence of identifier symbols that uniquely correspond to a particular organization. The investor events database also includes information interest lists to associate notified users with a particular identifier symbol. When the event manager detects an identifier symbol contained on an information interest list, the event manager automatically transmits a converted information notification message to the personal computing devices of each interested user.
