Notes:
• IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by Portfolio Visualizer regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and
are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time.
• 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. All use is subject to terms of service.
• Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
• Asset allocation and diversification strategies do not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.
• Hypothetical returns do not reflect trading costs, transaction fees, commissions, or actual taxes due on investment returns.
• 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.
• Refer to the related documentation sections for more details on terms and definitions , methodology , and data sources.
• Portfolio optimization is a process of choosing the proportions of various assets to be held in a portfolio in such a way as to make the portfolio better than any other combination according to the selected
objective function such as maximizing risk-adjusted return. 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 the total return of assets and assume that all received dividends and distributions are reinvested.
• Compound annualized growth rate (CAGR) is the annualized geometric mean return of the portfolio. It is calculated from the portfolio start and end balance and is thus impacted by any cashflows.
• The time-weighted rate of return (TWRR) is a measure of the compound rate of growth in a portfolio. This is calculated from the holding period returns (e.g. monthly returns), and TWRR will thus not be impacted
by cashflows. If there are no external cashflows, TWRR will equal CAGR.
• The money-weighted rate of return (MWRR) is the internal rate of return (IRR) taking into account cashflows. This is the discount rate at which the present value of cash inflows equals the present value of cash
outflows.
• Standard deviation (Stdev) is used to measure the dispersion of returns around the mean and is often used as a measure of risk. A higher standard deviation implies greater the dispersion of data points around
the mean.
• Sharpe Ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted performance of the portfolio, and it is calculated by dividing the mean monthly excess return of the portfolio over the risk-free rate by the standard deviation of excess
return, and the displayed value is annualized.
• Sortino Ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted return which is a modification of the Sharpe Ratio. While the latter is the ratio of average returns in excess of a risk-free rate divided by the standard deviation of those
excess returns, the Sortino Ratio has the same denominator divided by the standard deviation of returns below the risk-free rate.
• Treynor Ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted performance of the portfolio. It is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, but it uses portfolio beta (systematic risk) as the risk metric in the denominator.
• Calmar Ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted performance of the portfolio. It is calculated as the annualized return over the past 36 months divided by the maximum drawdown over the past 36 months based on
monthly returns.
• Risk-free returns are calculated based on the Federal Reserve 3-Month Treasury Bill (secondary market) rates.
• Downside deviation measures the downside volatility of the portfolio returns unlike standard deviation, which includes both upside and downside deviations. Downside deviation is calculated based on negative
returns that hurt the portfolio performance.
• Correlation measures to what degree the returns of the two assets move in relation to each other. Correlation coefficient is a numerical value between -1 and +1. If one variable goes up by a certain amount, the
correlation coefficient indicates which way the other variable moves and by how much. Asset correlations are calculated based on monthly returns.
• Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution or returns from a normal Gaussian distribution shape about its mean. Negative skewness is associated with the left (typically negative
returns) tail of the distribution extending further than the right tail; and positive skewness is associated with the right (typically positive returns) tail of the distribution extending further than the left tail.
• Excess kurtosis is a measure of whether a data distribution is peaked or flat relative to a normal distribution. Distributions with high kurtosis tend to have a distinct peak near the mean, decline rather rapidly, and
have heavy or fat tails.
• A drawdown refers to the decline in value of a single investment or an investment portfolio from a relative peak value to a relative trough. A maximum drawdown (Max Drawdown) is the maximum observed loss
from a peak to a trough of a portfolio before a new peak is attained. Drawdown values are calculated based on monthly returns.
• Value at Risk (VaR) measures the scale of loss at a given confidence level. If the 5% VaR is -3% the portfolio return is expected to be greater than -3% 95% of the time and less than -3% 5% of the time. Value at
Risk can be calculated directly based on historical returns based on a given percentile or analytically based on the mean and standard deviation of the returns.
• Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) measures the scale of the expected loss once the specific Value at Risk (VaR) breakpoint has been breached, i.e., it calculates the average tail loss by taking a weighted average
between the value at risk and losses exceeding the value at risk.
• Beta is a measure of systematic risk and measures the volatility of a particular investment relative to the market or its benchmark. Alpha measures the active return of the investment compared to the market
benchmark return. R-squared is the percentage of a portfolio's movements that can be explained by movements in the selected benchmark index.
• Active return is the investment return minus the return of its benchmark. For periods longer than 12 months this is displayed as annualized value, i.e., annualized investment return minus annualized benchmark
return.
• Tracking error, also known as active risk, is the standard deviation of active return. This is displayed as annualized value based on the standard deviation of monthly active returns.
• Information ratio is the active return divided by the tracking error. It measures whether the investment outperformed its benchmark consistently.
• Gain/Loss ratio is a measure of downside risk, and it is calculated as the average positive return in up periods divided by the average negative return in down periods.
• Upside Capture Ratio measures how well the fund performed relative to the benchmark when the market was up, and Downside Capture Ratio measures how well the fund performed relative to the benchmark
when the market was down. An upside capture ratio greater than 100 would indicate that the fund outperformed its benchmark when the market was up, and a downside capture ratio below 100 would indicate that
the fund lost less than its benchmark when the market was down. To calculate upside capture ratio a new series from the portfolio returns is constructed by dropping all time periods where the benchmark return is
less than equal to zero. The up capture is then the quotient of the annualized return of the resulting manager series, divided by the annualized return of the resulting benchmark series. The downside capture ratio is
calculated analogously.
• All risk measures for the portfolio and portfolio assets are calculated based on monthly returns.
• Monte Carlo method was used to resample the efficient frontier inputs to mitigate the impact of input estimation errors.
