This allows for an objective ranking of global investment opportunities across traditional and alternative asset classes, sectors, industries, and investment vehicles.

The system also includes a module for incorporating users’ own forecasts into the asset allocation process as well as a risk profiling module that suggests investment solutions tailored to the investor’s risk preference and goals.

Overall, R4A’s proprietary algorithms and advanced modules result in highly tailored and efficient investment portfolios that are based on forward-looking expectations, aligned with the investor’s risk profile and goals, and well-diversified to manage risk and amplify returns.
