Portfolio backtester
Pick a lazy portfolio and a starting amount. The chart replays five years of monthly total returns, rebalanced each month. CAGR and max drawdown sit under it. Five years is a short window, and 2021–2026 is a specific one.

Methodology
Monthly total returns come from yfinance adjusted closes, which include reinvested dividends. The backtest applies the target allocation at each month-end and rebalances on every step — equivalent to monthly rebalance with zero transaction cost.
History covers 2021-10 → 2026-10 (61 months). Tickers without history in this window are excluded; weights of remaining slices renormalize to 100%. Past performance is not a forecast of future results — backtests over a 5-year window are illustrative, not predictive.
Backtest. Past performance is not a forecast of future results. Five years is a short window — any conclusion drawn from this chart should account for the specific market environment of 2021–2026 and not be generalized.
