Portfolio Lab: how does it work?

Portfolio Lab 🧪 - is a place where investor can test their investment ideas, build a suitable investment portfolio and evaluate the performance and risk of a combination of assets.

You can run two types of tests in Portfolio Lab:

Calculator 🧮 - calculate dividend income and dividend yield, check diversification and metrics of the portfolio
Backtest 📈 - check the portfolio on historical data, compare its behavior with the benchmark

How can this help you?

Use the Portfolio Lab when building a new investment portfolio or if you want to optimize your current strategy.

What tasks does the Calculator 🧮 help solve:

Selection of the optimal combination of div. yield and dividend growth for the Dividend Portfolio
Building a diversified portfolio - see diversification by sector, region, currency, etc.
Find out how much money is needed to buy the planned portfolio (if you don't have access to fractional shares)
Selection of a combination of assets to receive dividend payouts evenly - for example, if you want to receive approximately the same amount of dividends every month
See how your dividend income/yield will change if you swap one asset for another

What tasks does the Backtest 📈 help solve:

Study how the portfolio behaves in different market conditions (for example, during a crisis) and see if it meets your expectations
See how periodic portfolio rebalancing can affect returns and learn if it's worth it for your strategy
Building a defensive strategy - search for an optimal combination of assets that is most stable during volatile markets
Compare portfolio behavior with a benchmark, such as S&P 500

How it works?

You create an investment portfolio (or copy from existing ones) and set target allocation for assets, for example:

2. Set test parameters.

3. Check the results of the experiment.

4. If you are satisfied with the results, save target allocations of the portfolio. You can then use our Rebalancing tool to make purchases.

5. Didn't like the results? Change the composition of the assets and the assets themselves and keep experimenting!

💡

It is important to remember that past results do not guarantee future results, but give investor an idea of how their investment portfolio might perform under certain market conditions, and whether it is more effective than investing in an index fund.
