About Dynamic Portfolios

Our Investment Strategy Builder is a quantitative investment tool that enables clients to build dynamic portfolios based on pre-determined criteria. Clients can choose from a universe of stocks and narrow it down based on parameters like market cap,PE ratios or beta. They can then further fine-tune their portfolio by choosing criteria based on market-based technical signals,fundamental signals or alternative signals like when an analyst changes their rating,that will automatically rebalance the portfolio based on what they choose. Then once you have selected your portfolio you can backtest and fine-tune further.
