Learn how to construct portfolios in Agora

Written by Thalēs

The portfolio builder is found under "Analyze Portfolios" in the blue Agora banner at the top of the page. 

There are 2 ways to start:

  • Start from the Fund Search page: Narrow down your search results using the filters on the left-hand side or, alternatively, highlight some funds by clicking on their fund card. Click "Add to Portfolio" in the top-right of the page. Add the funds to an existing portfolio or start one from scratch.

  • Start from the "Analyze Portfolios" page: Navigate to "Analyze Portfolios" at the top. From here, select "Create Portfolio" in the top-right and name it, when prompted. To add funds to your portfolio, click on the portfolio's name, open the "Funds" menu on the left and select "Add Funds". Select the '+' to add. Here, you can add funds by Keyword. Once added, make sure to "Edit Funds" (on the right of "Add Funds" and specify allocations - you can select allocations or weigh equally. 


Once you have selected your funds, proceed to add a description to your portfolio, vary the benchmark, risk-free rate, and time period to that of your choice. You can backtest your portfolio in any period, as long as it is after the fund's inception date. 

Generate a printable portfolio report in the top-right or at the base of the portfolio page. This is a tidy, condensed view of your portfolio allocations, returns since inception, correlations, and risk & return metrics.
