Performance Insights
Each Portfolio Universe has an Efficient Frontier. That is, the set of portfolio positions that are efficient (i.e. they give the maximum expected return for a given level of risk).
Diversiview gives you the opportunity to travel along that frontier for your portfolio and pick the position that suits you best.
Click on the ‘Find Efficient Frontier Positions’ button in the ‘Your Portfolio Optimisation’ section. Select the level of risk you are comfortable with and the maximum return for that level will be shown.
Once you are happy with the position, a new analysis will be run and the allocation for the selected efficient position will be shown.
The new analysis page will show that this particular asset allocation (portfolio composition) has the maximum return for that level of risk - within the specified constraints, if any.
Portfolio Alpha indicates the difference between the portfolio’s expected return and the expected return of the entire market*. That is, a positive Alpha shows how much more the portfolio is expected to earn compared with the entire market
Alpha is calculated using Jensen’s measure (see formula here), and is always considered in conjunction with Portfolio Beta. Investors generally aim to get a good portfolio performance (i.e. a positive Alpha) for the level of portfolio volatility indicated by Beta.
*For the purpose of Alpha calculations using Jensen’s method, Diversiview uses a relevent index for each market. Users can change the preferred benchmark in their account settings area.
You can find the Portfolio Alpha value on the Diversiview analysis page, under the ‘Performance & Benchmark’ section.
Portfolio Beta indicates portfolio’s volatility compared with the entire market*. That is, a Beta higher than 1 shows that the portfolio is more volatile than the entire market, while a Beta lower than 1 indicates that the portfolio is less volatile than the entire market.
Beta is a measure of the systematic risk where the portion of total portfolio risk that is due to external factors that affect almost all investments (e.g. wars, recessions, pandemics or even Government's monetary and economic policies).
Systematic risk cannot be reduced through diversification, as opposed to the unsystematic risk that is investment-specific (business risk) and can be reduced through diversification. Read more here.
You can find portfolio Beta on the Diversiview analysis page, Under the 'Performance and Benchmark' section.
Sharpe ratio is a widely used method for calculating the risk-adjusted return and a measurement of the portfolio’s performance per unit of portfolio’s volatility.
A portfolio that is well diversified will have a Sharpe ratio higher than a non-diversified portfolio, and investors generally look for a Sharpe ratio around or above 1.
You can find the Sharpe Ratio for your portfolio on the Diversiview analysis page, under the ‘Performance & Benchmark’ section.
Portfolio Risk, also known as Portfolio Volatility, shows the potential fluctuation of the expected returns. Your Portfolio Risk can be found in the Portfolio Analysis Report in the 'Expected Performance (Portfolio)' section.
A high portfolio risk means that the returns are expected to be volatile and unstable, so you might suffer losses in bear markets.
For a personalised portfolio, you need to match the portfolio risk with your own risk tolerance. Click here for a free portfolio risk quiz.
Portfolio risk is calculated based on the risk (volatility) of the individual investments, their weights in your portfolio and the granular correlations between pairs of individual investments. See the formula Portfolio Standard Deviation and check out our explanatory videos.

Minimum Variance Portfolio (MVP), also known as Minimum Risk Portfolio is the portfolio position with the lowest total portfolio risk.
You can calculate the MVP from the Diversiview analysis page. Scroll down to the ‘Your Portfolio Optimisation’ section and click on the ‘Calculate the Minimum Risk Portfolio’ button.
On the Portfolio Universe® diagram MVP is the leftmost point (see the 'Your Portfolio Universe' section on the optimised analysis report).
Note 1: If you use the default weighting values, the position with the absolute lowest possible risk will be given. If you change the minimum / maximum weighting values, the portfolio position with lowest risk within those constraints will be given.
Note 2: While the results of the balancing algorithm are rigorously scientific and thoroughly tested from a mathematical perspective, we do not claim at any stage that the calculated weights are the best for your personal circumstances. You should not take any action regarding changing the portfolio composition without doing further research and/or discussing with a finance professional. We accept no responsibility for any claim, loss, or damage as a result of using these results.
Optimal Portfolio is the portfolio position (i.e., the combination of securities’ weights in your portfolio) that minimises the total portfolio risk and maximises the total portfolio return at the same time.
You can calculate the Optimal Portfolio from the Diversiview analysis page. Scroll down to the ‘Your Portfolio Optimisation’ section and click on the ‘Calculate the Optimal Portfolio’ button.
Note 1: If you use the default weighting values, the absolute optimal portfolio position will be given. If you change the minimum / maximum weighting values, the optimal portfolio position within those constraints will be given.
