Risk Assessment

Let's understand your investment preferences to create a portfolio that matches your risk tolerance.

About This Tool

This tool uses modern portfolio theory and advanced optimization techniques to help you build diversified investment portfolios based on historical data analysis.

  1. Risk Profiling: Assesses your risk tolerance to suggest volatility constraints.
  2. Asset Selection: Allows selection of ETFs and stocks.
  3. Clustering (Optional): Groups similar assets to improve diversification when selecting representatives.
  4. Optimization: Mathematically finds asset weights based on your chosen strategy (e.g., Max Sharpe, Min Volatility, Risk Parity).
  5. Backtesting: Simulates historical performance, showing cumulative returns, metrics, and drawdowns.

Key Optimization Strategies Explained

  • Max Return (Risk Profile/Target Vol): Aims for the highest return given a specific risk (volatility) constraint.
  • Target Return: Aims for a specific return level while minimizing risk.
  • Min Volatility: Constructs the portfolio with the lowest possible historical risk.
  • Max Sharpe Ratio: Seeks the highest risk-adjusted return (Return / Volatility).
  • Risk Parity: Balances risk contribution from each asset equally.
  • Expected Shortfall (CVaR): Minimizes potential extreme losses (tail risk).
  • Bayesian (Ledoit-Wolf): Uses robust statistics to estimate covariance, potentially improving stability.
  • Hybrid Risk Parity-Momentum: Combines Risk Parity with recent performance trends (momentum).
