Quantitative analysis for a FinTech investing platform. This platform aims to offer clients a one-stop online investment solution for their retirement portfolios that’s both inexpensive and high quality (similar provider as Wealthfront or Betterment). To keep the costs low, the firm uses algorithms to build each client's portfolio. The algorithms choose from various investment styles and options.
This analysis evaluates four new investment options for inclusion in the client portfolios. The analysis determines the fund with the most investment potential based on key risk-management metrics: daily returns, standard deviations, correlations, Sharpe ratios, betas, and Treynor ratios.
Libraries that need to be imported are:
Pandas, NumPy, Pathlib, Csv, Matplotlib, and hvPlot.
Some parts use Python 3.7 or higer, due to the use of f-strings.

Different types of plots assessing performance and risk, useful for the analysis:
" I recommend to include Berkshire Hathaway Inc for the following reasons:
- Both candidate funds have a good response in times of market crushes, and this set an advantage to Berkshire, since that funds is more volatile[..]
- Berkshire has a better performance adjusted by risk as can be seen in a higher Sharpe ratio [..]
- Berkshire has a better performance adjusted by Beta than Tiger [..]
- The correlation of Bershire with the market is 0.60, which is less than the correlation of Tiger with the market of 0.66 [..]
- The selection should be of high investment potential, and suitable for retirement portfolios. [..] We can confirm this considering the low rolling 60 day beta [..]
In conclusion, Berkshire Hathaway Inc is the best option to be included in the firm's suite of fund offering for retirement funds, because it has low risk, a good response to market drops, the best measurements of performance adjusted by risk, and offer the best diversification benefits given the lower correlation with the equity market."
