Profolio Hack

Inspiration

Investments usually pose a barrier for the average folks, this inspires us to try to make it approachable, risk-minimized, and easy to "prescribe" a portfolio for any budget/spending styles.

What it does

We optimize investment portfolio by calculating how risky assets in a portfolio perform in and of themselves, and how their returns co-move with other assets.

Django and Flask on the front end, python on the back end. We follow modern portfolio theory for risk optimization.

Challenges we ran into
