Go beyond simple volatility measures with comprehensive risk factor analysis. Our models decompose portfolio risk across market, size, value, momentum, and quality factors, helping you understand the true sources of portfolio risk and return.
Static correlation matrices don't tell the full story. Our dynamic analysis shows how correlations change during different market regimes, helping you prepare for crisis periods when diversification benefits often disappear.
Create custom benchmarks that accurately reflect your investment strategy. Whether you need sector-neutral benchmarks, ESG-adjusted comparisons, or multi-asset class indices, build the perfect comparison framework.
Understand portfolio liquidity beyond simple market cap classifications. Our analysis incorporates trading volume, bid-ask spreads, and market impact costs to provide a comprehensive liquidity picture.
For international portfolios, separate currency effects from underlying security performance. Understand how FX movements impact returns and implement hedging strategies accordingly.
Our AI models are trained on decades of financial market data and validated against institutional-grade analytics platforms. The insights achieve 95%+ accuracy compared to traditional quantitative analysis methods, with the added benefit of natural language explanations that make complex concepts accessible.
Absolutely. Sourcetable supports comprehensive multi-asset class analysis including stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, REITs, commodities, and alternative investments. Our correlation and risk models account for the unique characteristics of each asset class.
Our optimization engine uses modern portfolio theory combined with machine learning to suggest improvements. It considers your risk tolerance, return objectives, and constraints (like sector limits or ESG requirements) to recommend specific trades that could enhance risk-adjusted returns.
Yes, we employ bank-level security with end-to-end encryption. Your portfolio data is never shared with third parties, and we use secure cloud infrastructure with regular security audits. You maintain complete control over your data at all times.
The optimal rebalancing frequency depends on your investment strategy and market conditions. Our AI monitors your portfolio continuously and suggests rebalancing when the potential benefits outweigh transaction costs. For most portfolios, this typically occurs quarterly, but can vary based on volatility and drift from target allocations.
Yes, our backtesting engine allows you to test portfolio strategies across different time periods and market conditions. You can simulate how different asset allocations would have performed historically and stress test against major market events like the 2008 financial crisis or COVID-19 pandemic.
Our analysis automatically adjusts for dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, and other corporate actions to provide accurate total return calculations. This ensures your performance metrics reflect the true economic value of your investments over time.
Risk-adjusted metrics like Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, and alpha help you understand whether your returns adequately compensate for the risk taken. Our AI provides plain-English explanations of these metrics and benchmarks them against relevant market indices and peer portfolios.
