Backtest Asset Class Allocation
Test how a mix of broad asset classes — US and international stocks, bonds, gold, REITs, and more — would have performed. Each class is represented by a widely held ETF.

What is the Asset Class Backtest?
Allocate across US and international stocks, bonds, gold, REITs, commodities, and more — each represented by a widely held ETF.
The Asset Class Backtest tool lets you reason at the level of asset classes rather than specific funds. Set weights for US stocks, developed and emerging international stocks, US and international bonds, REITs, gold, commodities, and inflation-protected bonds, and we map each to a representative ETF and run the same rigorous backtest engine. It's the fastest way to study how high-level diversification choices shape risk and return.
How to use it
- 1Set your asset-class mix: choose how much to hold in US stocks, international stocks, bonds, gold, REITs and more — each is mapped to a representative ETF, and the weights should total 100%.
- 2Pick your settings: a start and end date, a benchmark, how often to rebalance, and your dividend and inflation options.
- 3Run it to see growth, drawdowns, and full risk metrics, plus how each asset class contributed — all directly comparable to the ticker-level backtester.

How the Asset Class Backtest works
Each asset class uses a broad, liquid ETF proxy. The simulation is identical to the ticker-level backtester, so results are directly comparable.
