Portfolio Risk Analysis
 
 What

Portfolio Risk Analysis is the process of measuring and assessing your portfolio's exposure to market risk. FinPortfolio offers you three views on risk, allowing you to compare your portfolio to the market portfolio (S&P 500) in terms of Risk-Adjusted Return, Value-at-Risk (VaR), and Market Risk Exposure (Alpha, Beta and R-squared).

 When

You should analyze portfolio risk on a regular, periodic basis. How often you analyze portfolio risk is up to you, but to keep abreast of the impact of the market on portfolio risk, you might want to run Portfolio Risk Analysis on a weekly or even daily basis.

 Why

Portfolio Risk Analysis is important because it gives you a powerful tool for assessing your portfolio's risk, both relative to the market and to the risk level you desire to maintain.

 How

To use Portfolio Risk Analysis most effectively, there are really only two recommended steps:
  1. Be sure that you understand the various measurements that FinPortfolio uses in its presentation of portfolio risk - That means taking the time to familiarize yourself with the concepts of Risk-Adjusted Return, Value at Risk (VaR), and Market Risk Exposure.  (See links below)  
  2. Use FinPortfolio's three risk measurements to compare your portfolio's risk profile with that of the market portfolio (S&P 500), and to assess whether or not your portfolio has the risk profile that you desire.
