It is a labor of love by an individual investor just like you, and my mission is to provide free resources that empower everyday people to achieve their financial goals while enjoying the journey.

How Portfolio Charts Is Unique
Human-Centered Values
Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction
A well-designed portfolio will grow and protect your money on autopilot so that you can focus your energy on the things in life that truly matter.
A faith not tested cannot be trusted
Like engineers testing a parachute, the tools run thorough tests on all types of portfolios so that diligent savers can invest with confidence.
A picture is worth a thousand calculations
Raw numbers are only as valuable as your ability to see their impact. The unique charts show the best and worst outcomes in a single image.
Nobody can predict the future
Instead of trying in vain to forecast the conditions ahead, the charts use the experience of investors before you to provide measured guidance that helps you manage risk.
The investing world is bigger than ever
The research looks beyond old-school assumptions and translates many modern assets to the inflation and currency of different countries.
No one portfolio is suitable for all people
Everyone is different. Rather than promoting one asset allocation to rule them all, the collection offers good options for all types of investors.
Good data with no ulterior motives
The site offers free tools with no ads, affiliate links, or data harvesting. It’s a hobby project supported by the generosity of patrons.
Real-World Investing Wisdom
There is more to life than numbers, and the site has a human voice backed by personal experience. In addition to building charts, I have also been writing independently about investing since 2015. Here are a few of my favorite articles.
