glossary
The stock market has a language of its own. Our glossary helps you make sense of it.
No one knows for certain what the market has in store. By evaluating past financial events—and determining the probability they’ll reoccur in the future—we can gain a lens into potential performance. This number does just that.
Investing in stocks is all about balancing risks against (potential) rewards. A stock’s Sharpe ratio compares possible reward to risk, to help you envision the uncertainty factor. In general, a larger Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted returns.
Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR)
This nifty number—pronounced SEE-var— presents a worst-case scenario of the largest loss your portfolio might suffer on any given day, based on a weighted average of the most extreme possible losses.
How do you calculate my portfolio’s optimized allocations?
We calculate the Efficient Frontier and then solve the convex optimization problem according to our objectives and constraints.

Have questions about JAVLIN Invest? Our team has you covered.
You might dream about finding the next Amazon or Apple stock—and holding onto it for decades as you continue to grow your portfolio. But, like many people, you probably don’t spend enough time considering the risks you’ll encounter along the way.
JAVLIN Invest lets you see your portfolio from a new vantage point—one that the pros use, which is based on historical data and industry-accepted formulas. With JAVLIN Invest, you gain powerful education on how to make better, safer, long-term investments—and you’ll do so in a fraction of the time it takes to use a spreadsheet.
How do you link my Brokerage account?
Unfortunately, we do not currently allow you to link your brokerage account anymore. Instead, we now give you the full flexibility to input your portfolio from Menu -> Manual Portfolio.
What does Project do?
In the JAVLIN Invest app, Project shows how macroeconomic factors can affect your portfolio through four distinct scenarios. Based on our proprietary supervised Machine Learning algorithms, Project can help inform your investment strategy. No algorithm can perfectly predict the market, but forecasting with Project offers a simple way to evaluate your portfolio’s potential performance and illuminate risk.
How do you calculate my portfolio’s optimized allocations?
We calculate the Efficient Frontier and then solve the convex optimization problem according to our objectives and constraints.
What is the gray line in my Risk vs Return chart?
The gray line represents the S&P 500 index, our benchmark for determining how well your portfolio is performing each day.
Why does JAVLIN Invest take longer to load than other apps?
JAVLIN Invest processes a large amount of data. While other investment apps might simply sync information provided by your brokerage accounts, JAVLIN Invest runs complex calculations, including supervised machine learning, Monte Carlo simulations, backtesting, and optimization algorithms. We appreciate your patience as we continually strive to make the app more efficient. With investing, good things come to those who wait.
Will optimizing my portfolio guarantee better returns?
Unfortunately, no. In the realm of investing, nothing is guaranteed. Investing in stocks that performed well in the past doesn’t ensure desirable performance in the future. Portfolio optimization simply attempts to reduce risk while maintaining positive returns. It doesn’t promise any particular outcome.
Why do some metrics use historical data and some forecasted data?
Historical data is used when we are taking a “snapshot” of what your portfolio looks like today, such as the metrics on the home tab. Forecasted data, which includes analyst predictions, is used for forward looking metrics, such as the metrics on the build, allocate, and project tabs.Historical data is used when we are taking a “snapshot” of what your portfolio looks like today, such as the metrics on the home tab.
