The maximum drawdown of -29.78% indicates the portfolio's largest decline from peak to trough during the observed period, reflecting its risk level. Notably, a small number of days contributed significantly to the overall returns, underscoring the importance of staying invested over the long term to capture key growth periods.

With 983 out of 1,000 simulations showing positive returns, the median projected growth is substantial.

Risk vs. return

This chart shows the Efficient Frontier, calculated using your current assets with different allocation combinations. It highlights the best balance between risk and return based on historical data. "Efficient" portfolios maximize returns for a given risk or minimize risk for a given return. Portfolios below the curve are less efficient. This is informational and not a recommendation to buy or sell any assets.
