CAGR Doesn't Match Closely with Portfolio Visualizer #273
Comments
Hi, I'm facing the same issue with CAGR. and I think that i have found the problem. the number of years is calculated as
the problem with this is that returns a wrong number of years. ex
now 6407/252=25.42 which is wrong. however 6407/365 = 17.55 which is correct the fix is quite easy. probably just remove the this has a great side effect, now all my backtests will have a higher CAGR 🤪 |
Please see my reply to issue #275.
Regards

the number of years is calculated as
(shortvol.returns.index[-1] - shortvol.returns.index[0]).days/252
the problem with this is that returns a wrong number of years. ex
dt.datetime(2023,7,6) - dt.datetime(2005,12,20)
datetime.timedelta(days=6407)
now 6407/252=25.42 which is wrong.
however 6407/365 = 17.55 which is correct
the fix is quite easy. probably just remove the periods=252parameter and
hardcore 365 in the formula. the formula is working in days already, so
having a periods parameter can only lead to problems. it should always be
365.
this has a great side effect, now all my backtests will have a higher CAGR
🤪
it's a bit late here, i'll try to submit a pull request in the next few
days

I've been try to get the utils.make_index function to work in Quantstats. First, I cannot get the rebalance parameter to work. Leaving the default value gives an error, so I have to set it to 'None'. The error message:
File "C:\Users\Techie\PycharmProjects\StockAnalysis\venv\Lib\site-packages\quantstats\utils.py", line 400, in make_index
return index[index.index <= last_day].sum(axis=1)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Second, when I set rebalance='None', it will work. But, when I run the reports.html function I get CAGR results that are very different from Portfolio Visualizer. Is there another parameter I need to tweak to match up with PV? Here is my code:
import matplotlib
import quantstats as qs
matplotlib.use('Agg')
qs.extend_pandas()
symbols = {
'SPY': 0.40,
'IEF': 0.40,
'TLT': 0.20
}
port = qs.utils.make_index(symbols, rebalance=None)
qs.reports.html(port, benchmark='SPY', title='Strategy vs. SPY', output='port.html')
Here is a link to the same portfolio when run in Portfolio Visualizer: https://tinyurl.com/2mbsvp4c
I realize PV does it monthly but I'm off by almost 5%. Plus, I cannot do monthly in Quantstats due to the error above on rebalance.
The results vary by quite a bit. I'm adding a screenshot of the results for the Quantstats run. Maybe I have something wrong?
Thanks!
