Why forward-looking data matters

Most free tools optimize portfolios using historical returns. The problem: past performance is not predictive of future performance, especially when valuations and interest rates have changed dramatically.

Portfolio Lab uses J.P. Morgan's 2026 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions. These are the same forward-looking return estimates used by pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds managing trillions. They factor in current valuations, rate expectations, and economic conditions instead of simply extrapolating from history.

You do not need to be an expert

Each tool explains what it does and why in plain language. You choose your assets, set your constraints, and the platform does the quantitative work. If you want to go deeper, the full methodology is documented.

Your data stays on your device

Every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Your portfolio, your allocations, your retirement projections stay on your machine. No account required for most tools.
