Inspiration
Investors and portfolio managers are dependent on ratings from big companies and simplistic backtests in their security screening process. We see an opportunity to serve as a one stop shop for portfolio analytics and allocation.
What it does
portfol.io helps investors make informed decisions about their portfolio allocations using asset graphs to model custom factor portfolios. Understanding the custom factor a particular stock/security belongs to can give us great insights into how it will behave in the future and the hidden risks involved.
How I built it
portfol.io is powered by python and flask.
Challenges I ran into
The strategy presented many complications from intricate issues like how to handle negative correlation to bigger challenges such as what clustering algo to use and how to derive the portfolio.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
In these 1 1/2 days, I developed something that would have taken me more than a month had I tried it outside the system taking my other commitments into account.
What I learned
I learnt how fast and scalable trading strategies are in python.
What's next for portfol.io
I am working under the mentorship of 2 big portfolio managers to further the project of portfol.io.
