Monte Carlo simulator, risk tolerance quiz with allocation suggestions, and stress-testing for portfolios — built for UK investors.

Risk Tolerance Quiz

Quick

Answer a few questions to get a suggested asset allocation and expected return/volatility.


Monte Carlo Simulator

Projection

Run multiple simulated market-return paths to estimate the probability of reaching a target portfolio value.


Stress Test

Scenarios

Apply shocks and scenarios to an example portfolio to see the immediate and multi-year impact.


Global Market Crash
Equities -35% year 1, bonds -5%
Stagflation
Equities -10% per year x3, inflation 6%
Rate Shock
Equities -15% year1, bonds -12% year1

Quick guidance

Default model assumptions

  • Equity expected return: 6.5% (vol 16%)
  • Bond expected return: 1.5% (vol 6%)
  • Cash return: 0.5% (vol 1%)
  • Correlation between assets assumed moderately positive

Allocation cheat-sheet

Typical allocations by risk profile (equity : bonds : cash):

Conservative30 : 60 : 10
Balanced50 : 40 : 10
Growth70 : 25 : 5
Aggressive90 : 8 : 2

Methodology (brief)

Monte Carlo: geometric returns per period from normal distribution (Box–Muller). Scenarios: apply year-by-year shocks and compound using simple assumptions. Quiz: score-based mapping to allocations and blended expected return/volatility.
