A well-balanced portfolio consists of low-risk and high-risk assets. Adjust the risk portion of your portfolio to your personal risk capacity and your investment horizon.
Investment horizon
The investment period largely determines the expected return of a portfolio. With a short investment period you have to expect a high volatility especially in the risk component. The longer your investing horizon is, the higher may be an appropriate risk rate you choose. Time is on your side.
Historic analysis
A historic analysis of a diversified portfolio can help you to choose the right level of risk. The simulation shows you the historic range of drawdowns and returns of a diversified portfolio with an equivalent risk rate, like the one you selected.

Historical analysis
What is shown?
You can see the historical performance of a diversified portfolio, consisting of equities and government bonds with your chosen equity ratio. The analysis shows how high the (temporary) drawdowns and the returns between 2003 and 2022 were. The analysis thus considers several economic crises (global financial crisis, Euro crisis, market crash at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ukrainian war). These insights can be helpful for choosing your personal portfolio mix.
The analysis reflects the perspective of a European investor. All returns are calculated in Euro. Foreign currencies are not being hedged.
Please note: Past performance is not a reliable indication of future performance.
Portfolio
The simulated equity/bond portfolio reflects an investment in global equity markets and German government bonds. The risk allocation matches the equity portion you have selected. The equity allocation is represented by the MSCI World index (global equities from developed countries). The fixed income allocation consists of German government bonds (RexP).
Example with 50% equity allocation:
50% German government bonds, 50% equities worldwide
Maximum Drawdown
Maximum drawdown is a measure of risk. It measures the largest temporary losses, which occurred at some point of time within a time period.
Rebalancing
In the analysis an annual rebalancing takes place. This prevents that portfolio weightings deviate too much from the strategic allocation at the start.
The model resets the respective equity allocation annually to the starting level. Year 2008 for example: Stocks lose value while government bonds rise. Now the model sells parts of the government bonds in order to increase the equity portion with the proceeds. When stocks are rising, equity shares are sold accordingly.
Time series
The time series used for the analysis reach from January 2003 to December 2022 (20 years). All calculations are based on monthly figures.
German government bonds: Rex Performance index, Source: German Bundesbank
Developed market equities: MSCI World Net index, Source: MSCI
The conversion of US dollar investments into Euros is done via the official ECB EUR/USD exchange rate.

Commodities offer the chance to strenghten the risk/return profile of your portfolio.
Commodities include energy (e.g. oil, gas), agricultural products (e.g. wheat, corn), l ive cattle, industrial metals (e.g. aluminium, copper) and precious metals (e.g. gold, silver).
Precious metals, especially gold, have an exceptional position among commodities. It is highly valued by investors in times of crisis. Besides a broad-diversified commodities basket, gold by itself can be a very interesting portfolio building block.
Set the commodity slider to 0%, if you do not want commodities within your portfolio.

Fixed-income securities in domestic currency are the "low risk" component of a portfolio. They are also known as bonds. Investors grant a loan to governments or companies and therefore receive interest payments.
Fixed-income usually has a significantly lower volatility than stocks. However, this does not mean they are risk free. This part of the portfolio may also lead to losses.
Government bonds offer the best credit quality. More yield, but also more risk, is provided by foreign government bonds and corporate bonds. An alternative to fixed-income securities are bank deposits.
For a better evaluation of the different strategies, you find more information on the duration and credit quality of the underlying securities.
