What is the Portfolio Score?

The Portfolio Score is PortfolioPilot's proprietary method of objectively calculating how good a given portfolio is. We find it extremely useful as a "North Star" to guide your investment process and the system uses it to globally optimize your portfolio. It is calculated by taking into account:

1) how your portfolio's risk matches your current risk

2) your investments' overall risk-adjusted retruns (calculated using the Sharpe Ratio)

3) your portfolio's Downside Protection to various macroeconomic factors. like inflation.

After making changes to your portfolio, the Portfolio Score will be updated to reflect how your changes will impact your portfolio.
