❓ FAQ

Q: How is overall risk calculated?
A: It's a weighted formula based on concentration, market volatility, liquidity constraints, and lack of diversification.

Q: What does the risk-adjusted return mean?
A: Your expected return minus a volatility penalty. It's a realistic projection of your net investment return.

Q: Is this only for high-end collectors?
A: No. Anyone with 10+ pieces and $100K+ exposure benefits from portfolio analysis—even if you're focused on emerging markets.

Q: Does it account for individual artist performance?
A: Not yet. It’s category-based. Future updates will allow artist-level granularity using indexed auction data.

Q: What do I do if my risk score is high?
A: Consider reducing emerging market exposure, increasing geographic spread, or rebalancing toward more liquid categories.
