Portfolio Analysis

Questions about how our portfolio analysis works and what you'll get

You can analyze any publicly traded stocks, including:
  • Individual stocks (US and international)
  • ETFs and mutual funds
  • REITs
  • Any ticker symbol available on major exchanges

We retrieve up to 10 years of historical data for each holding to ensure analysis.

Most analyses complete in 5 minutes, depending on portfolio size and complexity. Basic Analysis is typically faster, while Premium Analysis takes a bit longer due to the modeling involved. You'll receive email notifications when your analysis is complete.

Basic Analysis includes:

  • Portfolio performance metrics and basic risk measures
  • Individual stock analysis and simple correlations
  • Performance charts and composition breakdown
  • Basic diversification insights
  • Summary report

Premium Analysis adds:

  • Advanced risk measures and statistical analysis
  • Future volatility predictions for each holding
  • Portfolio risk forecasting with confidence intervals
  • Dynamic correlation analysis
  • Model validation and ensemble results
  • Forecasting charts and downloadable PDF reports

Premium Analysis is available once per day with a free account.

You have two options:
  1. Manual Entry: Enter your holdings one by one with ticker symbols and quantities
  2. CSV Upload: Upload a CSV file with your holdings (we provide a template)

No need to connect bank accounts or brokerage accounts - just the basic information about what you own.

Technical

Questions about our methodology, models, and technical approach

Our CCC/DCC ensemble modeling uses the same sophisticated techniques employed in academic research. We test multiple GARCH model specifications (GARCH, EGARCH, TGARCH, APARCH) with different probability distributions, validate their performance, and combine the best performers for robust forecasting. This approach provides much more reliable predictions than single-model approaches used by basic portfolio tools.

CCC (Constant Conditional Correlation): Assumes correlations between assets remain constant over time. This is faster to compute and provides stable, reliable results for most portfolios.

DCC (Dynamic Conditional Correlation): Allows correlations to change over time, capturing how assets move together differently during market stress. This provides more realistic risk estimates during volatile periods.

We provide confidence intervals with all forecasts so you know exactly how certain we are about our predictions. Our ensemble approach typically provides better accuracy than single-model forecasts, but remember that all financial forecasting involves uncertainty. We validate our models using out-of-sample testing and provide transparency about model performance in your reports.

We use professional-grade financial data sources including Yahoo Finance APIs and other reputable providers. Our system validates data quality, handles stock splits and dividends, and ensures accuracy before running any analysis. We typically use up to 10 years of historical data for robust statistical analysis.
