Max return at the same risk level
Read.The efficient frontier traces the maximum expected return achievable at each level of volatility. If your portfolio sits below the curve, a different weight combination could yield more return at the same risk; on the curve means already efficient.

Where does this portfolio's alpha come from?
Fama–French 3-Factor decomposes market, size and value exposure, and tests whether any excess return is statistically significant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Questions newcomers to this model commonly ask. Click any question to expand the answer.
Can I trade exactly the way the analysis suggests?
No, that is not recommended. Every analysis here is a statistical estimate based on historical market data, and it does not guarantee future returns or losses. Trading costs, taxes, FX costs, market impact, and your own investment goals and horizon are also not reflected. Use the results as a diagnostic of "what kind of risk and return profile this portfolio has", and before any real investment decision review your own situation and consider consulting a qualified professional.
I re-ran the analysis on the same tickers but the result is slightly different — why?
That is expected. Each analysis fetches the latest data from yfinance and the Kenneth French library at the moment you run it. When new trading days or factor updates land between runs, the sample changes and the means, variances and regression coefficients shift slightly. If the change is large (e.g. alpha flips sign, or a beta moves more than 0.3), that is a signal that the sample is too short for statistical stability — check the reliability score at the top of the result page.
How are Korean and US stocks handled together?
It depends on the model. Markowitz and HRP convert all amounts to a single currency (KRW) and treat the two markets as one portfolio — USD holdings are converted at the FX rate at analysis time. Fama–French (3- / 5-factor) needs region-specific factors, so Korean tickers are regressed against our own Korea factors (computed in-house from public Korean market data) and US tickers against Kenneth French's North America factors, with the two regressions combined by weight average. Mixed KR / US portfolios appear as a "split analysis" on the result page, with per-market regression results included.
How is the "reliability score" calculated?
A 0–100 score combining the sample window (months) with model-specific quality signals. The window component reaches 70+ once it crosses 60 months (5 years, the academic recommendation). Per model: Markowitz adds diversification benefit and a single-name concentration penalty; Fama–French adds R² and the share of betas that are statistically significant; HRP adds diversification benefit and how much HRP reduces current volatility. 75+ is "excellent", 55–75 "good", 35–55 "fair", below 35 "low". This is a heuristic for "how seriously should I take this result" — not an academic standard.
My portfolio dot sits far to the left (lower volatility) of my holdings' average — is that a bug?
It is not a bug — it is diversification working exactly as the theory predicts. Portfolio volatility is not the average of each holding's volatility; it also reflects how much the holdings move together (correlation). When assets from different sectors and markets swing at different times, their swings partially cancel out, trimming the portfolio's overall volatility. With low enough correlations, the portfolio can end up less volatile than the average — and even less volatile than the single calmest holding. That is the core result of Markowitz's theory. The further left the dot sits, the better diversified you are, and the gap versus the average is the "diversification benefit" figure in your result.
Why isn't a single "optimal weight set" shown in the result?
The efficient frontier is a curve, not a point, and there are infinitely many "optimal" points along it. Which one to recommend — max Sharpe (tangency), min variance, target-return — depends on the goal, and mean-variance optimization is famously sensitive to the input estimates of means and covariance. We deliberately do not push a single "optimal weight" recommendation. Instead, we plot your portfolio on the efficient-frontier curve so you can see "how much room there is to improve return at the same risk", and we leave the rebalancing call to you.
Is a Sharpe ratio above 1 always good?
Industry convention is that an annualized Sharpe above 1.0 is "healthy" and above 2.0 is "excellent", but if the window leans bull-market it will overstate the true ratio. Sharpe is (return − risk-free) / volatility, so any window where volatility happened to be unusually low gets a flattering numerator-to-denominator ratio. The normal-distribution assumption behind volatility also underweights tail risk (black swans), so realized risk-adjusted rewards can be lower than Sharpe suggests. Read it together with the reliability score and ideally re-validate across a 5+ year sample.
Does "VaR 95% = −10%" mean a 5% chance of losing 10% in a year?
More precisely: "under normal market conditions, the probability of losing more than 10% within one year is 5% or less". We use parametric VaR with a normal-distribution assumption, which fits typical markets but underestimates realized losses during shocks (financial crises, wars, pandemics — i.e. tail risk). Read VaR as a "normal-market lower bound", not a worst-case ceiling, and pair it with a more conservative scenario for real money management.
Is diversification near 0% always bad?
It depends on the intent. Low diversification means your holdings move almost in lockstep — usually a sign of sector / theme / country concentration. If "diversify" is the goal, add assets or rebalance to lift the effect. If you intentionally bet on a single sector or theme, low diversification is a natural consequence and not a problem in itself — just be aware that single-name blow-up risk rises with concentration.
How can I tell whether my portfolio sits exactly on the efficient frontier?
On the "Efficient frontier" chart you can visually see whether your portfolio sits on the curve (green marker) or below it (red marker). Below the curve means there is a weight mix that achieves higher return at the same volatility, and a dashed line illustrates the gap. Important: "on the curve" does not mean "perfect" — the curve itself depends on the sample's mean / covariance estimates, and out-of-sample the curve can take a different shape.
