Formulas
- Price Base: adj_close
- Return: (current_price – prevPrice) / prevPrice
- Monthly Return: adj_close last day of the month
- Annual Average Return: sum(monthly return) / num months return
- Final Balance: return monthly + Initial balance. This is a bucle for each month.
- Stdev: mean =sum(yearly return) / num years sum_of_squares = 0.0; foreach (yearly return as $value) { $sum_of_squares += pow($value – $mean, 2); } sqrt($sum_of_squares / (count($array) – 1));
- Risk Free Ratio: 0.02;
- Sharpe Ratio: mean =sum(yearly return) / num years $std_dev = Stdev return (mean – Risk Free Ratio) / $std_dev;
Notes on results:
- All results are hypothetical
- Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns and data and other errors may exist.
- The entered time period is automatically adjusted based on the available return data for the specified assets
- CAGR = Compound Annual Growth Rate
- Stdev = Annualised standard deviation of monthly returns
- Sharpe and Sortino ratios are calculated and annualised from monthly excess returns over risk free rate (1-month t-bills)
- Stock market correlation is based on the correlation of monthly returns
- Drawdowns are calculated based on monthly returns
- The results use total return and assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. Taxes and transaction fees are not included
