One portfolio, three tools
The Portfolio Backtester with a diversified eight-sleeve allocation run from 1972: a compound annual return of 9.6% nominal and 5.5% real against a 60/40 benchmark, a 0.56 Sharpe ratio, a 28.5% maximum drawdown, and fifty-three years of growth on $10,000.
The same allocation in the Stress Tester under the 2008 Global Financial Crisis: a contribution waterfall where US Large Cap takes off 12.5 points and Foreign Developed 8.4, while gold and long Treasuries add back, for a portfolio total of minus 26.7%.
The same allocation on the Efficient Frontier, plotted off the curve at a 0.54 Sharpe ratio against a max-Sharpe portfolio at 0.62 and a minimum-variance portfolio at 0.8%, with a holdings table showing what each of the three would actually own.
A single eight-sleeve allocation handed from the Backtester to the Stress Tester to the Efficient Frontier. Nothing is retyped between them — the window, the weights and the settings travel with it.

Why we built this

Most professional-grade portfolio research costs hundreds of dollars a month. We built this platform because we wanted these tools ourselves — the same long-horizon, survivorship-complete historical perspective that informs serious asset-allocation work, in one connected workflow rather than scattered across a dozen sites.
