Calculate INVESTMENT ALLOCATION: DRAWDOWN-BASED

What is the Drawdown‑Risk‑Based Allocation Calculator?

The Drawdown‑Risk‑Based Allocation Calculator helps you determine a recommended allocation to an asset based on your risk tolerance and the asset’s historical drawdown. Here’s what each input means:

  1. Total Portfolio Value: Enter the overall value of your portfolio.
  2. Currency considerations: Select the currency in which your portfolio is denominated, and the currency in which the asset is priced.
  3. Asset Maximum Drawdown (%): Input the asset’s historical maximum drawdown. You may wish to add a buffer to this figure. For example, if the asset has historically drawn down 30%, you might enter 40% for more leeway and prudence.
  4. Portfolio Risk Tolerance (%): Specify the maximum percentage of your portfolio you are willing to risk on this asset.
  5. Calculation: The tool computes the recommended allocation by taking the ratio of your risk tolerance to the (buffered) asset drawdown, ensuring your potential loss remains within your set limits.

This calculator assists you in managing risk effectively by keeping your exposure within your desired tolerance during market downturns.
