Portfolio Optimization

This portfolio optimizer tool supports the following portfolio optimization strategies:

Mean Variance Optimization – Find the optimal risk adjusted portfolio that lies on the efficient frontier
Conditional Value-at-Risk – Optimize the portfolio to minimize the expected tail loss
Risk Parity – Find the portfolio that equalizes the risk contribution of portfolio assets
Tracking Error – Find the portfolio that minimizes the tracking error against the selected benchmark
Information Ratio – Find the portfolio that maximizes the information ratio against the selected benchmark
Kelly Criterion – Finds the portfolio with the maximum expected geometric growth rate
Sortino Ratio – Find the portfolio that maximizes the Sortino ratio for the given minimum acceptable return
Omega Ratio – Find the portfolio that maximizes the Omega ratio for the given minimum acceptable return
Maximum Drawdown – Find the portfolio with the minimum worst case drawdown with optional minimum acceptable return

The optimization is based on the monthly return statistics of the selected portfolio assets for the given time period. The optimization result does not predict what allocation would perform best outside the given time period, and the actual performance of portfolios constructed using the optimized asset weights may vary from the given performance goal.

The required inputs for the optimization include the time range and the portfolio assets. Portfolio asset weights and constraints are optional. You can also use the Black-Litterman model based portfolio optimization, which allows the benchmark portfolio asset weights to be optimized based on investor's views.

Notes on results:

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, which may vary. All use is subject to terms of service.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The value of the investments and the income derived from them may fluctuate over time.
All portfolio returns presented are hypothetical and backtested. Hypothetical returns do not reflect trading costs, transaction fees, or taxes.
Portfolio optimization determines target weights for portfolio assets based on mathematical models that can use either historical or forecasted data as inputs. Optimization results are not guarantees of future performance.
The results are based on information from a variety of sources we consider reliable, but we do not represent that the information is accurate or complete.
The results do not constitute investment advice or recommendation, are provided solely for informational purposes, and are not an offer to buy or sell any securities.
The results are based on the total return of assets and assume that all received dividends and distributions are reinvested.
Allocation constraints are only applied to the optimized portfolio, not to compared allocations and benchmarks
The annual results for 2021 are based on full calendar months from January to June
CAGR = Compound Annual Growth Rate
Stdev = Annualized standard deviation of monthly returns
Sharpe ratio is calculated and annualized from monthly excess returns over the risk free rate (3-month treasury bill)
Drawdowns are calculated based on monthly returns.
The backtested results assume monthly rebalancing of portfolio assets to match the specified allocation.
