Efficient Frontier Visualizer
Enter expected returns, volatility, and correlations for up to three assets. The tool builds sample portfolios, estimates portfolio risk and return, and shows a simplified efficient frontier table so you can explore risk–return tradeoffs.
Formulas used in the Efficient Frontier Visualizer
Expected portfolio return
Rp = w1·r1 + w2·r2 + w3·r3
Portfolio variance (three assets)
σp² = w1²·σ1² + w2²·σ2² + w3²·σ3²
+ 2·w1·w2·σ1·σ2·ρ12
+ 2·w1·w3·σ1·σ3·ρ13
+ 2·w2·w3·σ2·σ3·ρ23
Portfolio volatility
σp = √σp²
Simplified “Sharpe-like” ratio (no risk-free)
Sharpe* = Rp / σp
The tool generates sample portfolios by sweeping weights for Asset 1 and Asset 2 between 0 and 1, with Asset 3 taking the residual (if any). Weights are constrained to be non-negative and sum to 1.
