What is portfolio optimisation software?

Portfolio optimisation software calculates the weights that best meet an objective, such as the highest return for a level of risk, subject to constraints. AlternativeSoft runs mean-variance and risk parity optimisation on portfolios of hedge funds, mutual funds and private equity, and plots the results on the efficient frontier.

Optimisation Capabilities

Optimisation Built for Real Portfolios of Funds

Efficient frontier software that respects the practical limits of investing in funds.

Mean-Variance Optimisation

Find the portfolios with the best expected return for each level of risk.

Risk Parity

Build portfolios in which each manager contributes an equal share of risk.

Efficient Frontier

Plot candidate portfolios and the current portfolio on the frontier to see the gap.

Custom Constraints

Set minimum and maximum weights and risk budgets for the portfolio.

Downside-Aware Statistics

Judge results on drawdown and tail risk, which matter for funds with uneven return patterns.

Results You Could Actually Implement

A textbook optimiser will often place most of the portfolio in two or three funds. AlternativeSoft lets you set the limits that apply to your mandate, so the output is a portfolio your committee could approve.

  • No unrealistic weights: Minimum and maximum allocations keep the result diversified.
  • Drawdown in view: Judge each candidate on drawdown as well as volatility.
  • Tested, not just optimised: Send the optimised portfolio straight to stress testing.
  • Ready to present: Export the frontier and the proposed weights as a report.

Common Questions

Portfolio Optimisation Software: Frequently Asked Questions

Which optimisation methods does the software use?

Mean-variance and risk parity optimisation are both available, and results can be compared on the efficient frontier.

Can it optimise a portfolio of hedge funds?

Yes. The platform is designed for portfolios of funds, including hedge funds, where drawdown and tail risk are measured alongside volatility.

Can I see my current portfolio on the efficient frontier?

Yes. The current portfolio is plotted with the optimised candidates, so the potential improvement is clear.

Can constraints be changed and the optimisation re-run?

Yes. Constraints and assumptions can be changed and the optimisation run again in minutes.

Is portfolio optimisation part of the main platform?

Yes. Optimisation sits with portfolio construction, stress testing and reporting in the same platform.
