What is Portfolio Optimization?
Portfolio optimization is the process of selecting the best portfolio (asset distribution) from a set of all portfolios being considered. The objective typically maximizes factors such as expected return and minimizes costs like financial risk.
Our platform provides enterprise-grade portfolio optimization services specifically designed for Indian equity markets, supporting stocks listed on NSE and BSE and Indian equity mutual funds, with end-of-day data and advanced optimization algorithms. US-listed equities are supported on the Pro and Enterprise plans.
