Riskfolio-Lib

Quantitative Strategic Asset Allocation, easy for you.

Description

Riskfolio-Lib is a library for making quantitative strategic asset allocation or portfolio optimization in Python made in Peru 🇵🇪. It is built on top of cvxpy and closely integrated with pandas data structures.

Some of key functionalities that Riskfolio-Lib offers:

• Portfolio optimization with 4 objective functions (Minimum Risk, Maximum Return, Maximum Risk Adjusted Return Ratio and Maximum Utility Function)
• Portfolio optimization with 10 convex risk measures (Std. Dev., MAD, CVaR, Maximum Drawdown, among others)
• Risk Parity Portfolio optimization with 7 convex risk measures (Std. Dev., MAD, CVaR, Maximum Drawdown, among others)
• Worst Case Mean Variance Portfolio optimization.
• Portfolio optimization with Black Litterman model.
• Portfolio optimization with Risk Factors model.
• Portfolio optimization with constraints on tracking error and turnover.
• Portfolio optimization with short positions and leveraged portfolios.
• Tools for build efficient frontier for 10 risk measures.
• Tools for build linear constraints on assets, asset classes and risk factors.
• Tools for build views on assets and asset classes.
• Tools for calculate risk measures.
• Tools for calculate risk contributions per asset.
• Tools for calculate uncertainty sets for mean vector and covariance matrix.
• Tools for estimate loadings matrix (Stepwise Regression and Principal Components Regression).
• Tools for visualizing portfolio properties and risk measures.

Documentation

Online documentation is available at Documentation.

The docs include a tutorial with examples that shows the capacities of Riskfolio-Lib.

RoadMap

The plan for this module is to add more functions that will be very useful to asset managers.

• Mean Entropic Risk Optimization Portfolios.
• Add functions to estimate Duration, Convexity, Key Rate Durations and Convexities of bonds without embedded options (for loadings matrix).
• Add more functions based on suggestion of users.
