Riskfolio-Lib

Quantitative Strategic Asset Allocation, Easy for Everyone.

Description

Riskfolio-Lib is a library for making quantitative strategic asset allocation or portfolio optimization in Python made in Peru 🇵🇪. Its objective is to help students, academics and practitioners to build investment portfolios based on mathematically complex models with low effort. It is built on top of cvxpy and closely integrated with pandas data structures.

Some of key functionalities that Riskfolio-Lib offers:

Dispersion Risk Measures:
- Standard Deviation.
- Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD).

- Tail Gini Range.
Downside Risk Measures:
- Semi Standard Deviation.
