Basis of calculations: historical or modelled?
Hi,
I am new to Portfolioslab. I cannot find any statement describing whether returns and heat maps of users' and lazy's portfolios are based on actual historical data, or are simply modelled on the basis of current portfolio composition.
I would greatly appreciate a clarification.
Thanks

Discrepancy between SPY and ^GSPC?
Hello, from the charts, SPY seems to be outperforming its benchmark ^GSPC. That looks strange. From my understanding, SPY is designed to closely track the S&P 500.
Could there be an error in the charts?

How is Sharpe ratio calculated?
The highest sharpe ratio portfolioi in User portfolios holds only ultrashort treasuries and show a sharpe ratio of 7+. But my understanding is the Sharpe ratio is the return less the risk-free rate divided by the standard deviation of returns. But short-term treasuries ARE the risk free rate, so the Sharpe ratio should be zero since the risk free rate minus the risk free rate is zero. So are you simply ignoring the risk-free rate and dividing returns by the standard deviation???
Addendum:
Just input my portfolio and asked that your site optimize it for Sharpe ratio. I have ready cash in USFR, and ETF that holds US floating rate notes exclusively. The optimization recommended I put over 99% in USFR. However, the interest rate on floating rate notes is based on the three month treasury, so again, USFR has a Sharpe ratio of zero! Please correct this!
