BlackSwan Financial Platform enables you to provide a more personalized solution for your clients with different risk appetites. It also allows you to obtain more precise results by dropping the assumption of asset return normality.

It provides you with a new approach to maximize returns and minimize losses during extreme market conditions. It uses a mathematical model to find the allocation, within a portfolio of financial assets, that maximizes the investor's expected return while minimizing his maximum loss. It helps maximize return during normal market conditions, minimize losses during extreme crashes, and maximize the gains during extreme rallies.

Highlights:

  • Improves on the classical mean-variance solution by taking possible extreme events into consideration
  • Maximizes the expected return for a fixed volatility while also minimizing the expected shortfall or also maximizing the expected windfall
  • Results in a considerable gain in Expected Shortfall/Expected Windfall (ES/EW) for a modest loss in Expected Return (E[R])
  • Provides greater diversification capabilities and can be used as an efficient risk management tool
  • Allows users to match a client’s risk appetite with different solutions (for example, Shortfall Optimize Portfolio (SOP) for risk-averse clients or Windfall Optimize Portfolio (WOP) for risk-taking clients) in addition to the efficient frontier (EF) used for clients who do not care about extreme risks
