Portfolio Stress Test
What Is The Portfolio Stress Test?
-
Just as doctors stress test heart patients, financial advisors use portfolio stress tests to gauge investment risk in different economic scenarios.
-
We start by asking questions like, "What happens if the economy falls back into recession, or global deflation takes hold?" - over 75 scenarios in all.
-
Our model measures the impact of these scenarios on your investments using history as a guide, giving you a clearer picture of the risks to your portfolio.
How Does Stress Testing Work?
-
HiddenLevers' software measures millions of relationships between the economy and investments. Interest rates affect home sales, which impact the price of Home Depot stock. We uncover these links for 35,000+ investments.
-
The software then uses these data points to project how your investments might react to a future scenario.
-
Each investment in your portfolio is tested against over 75 scenarios in this manner, with the results summarized for easy understanding.
What Can I Expect Upon Requesting A Stress Test?
