Ed, Graham did a similar project for me using categories for funds as I wanted to restrict the number of funds by style/class etc. It was easier and faster for me to hire Graham than grind through the project myself. It also ended up being a great solution for further expansion i.e. sectors and industry groups etc. Since he has already done most of the work I am sure he could work a very affordable and quick solution for you. Just an idea to ponder.
