Our Mission

To make advanced financial tools accessible to everyone, empowering individuals to manage their long-term investments with confidence and independence. We believe that with the right tools, anyone can become a smarter investor.

Why PharosFolio® was created

We developed PharosFolio® as an educational project because many individual investors in Europe want to explore simple, independent ways to understand portfolio management, while most tools are either too complex, product-driven, or focused on stock picking.

PharosFolio® addresses this gap with an intuitive platform that combines ease of use with advanced quantitative models — designed to help both beginners and experienced investors explore how a custom simulated portfolio would perform.

Why PharosFolio® is different

Unlike many online simulators that only show past performance for fixed asset allocations, PharosFolio® uses a proprietary quantitative risk model that dynamically adjusts the asset mix based on historical market data and your chosen risk level.

The same model powers both the historical simulations and the forecast used in the Rebalancing calculator, allowing you to explore consistent, model-based portfolio behavior over time through a simple interface.
