Investment Strategies, Powered by Science
We’re nerdy about portfolio construction.
Our powerful scientific, data-driven algorithms build broadly diversified institutional-strength portfolios that are time-tested, tax efficient and based on Nobel-prize winning academic research including the industry standard benchmark S&P500®.
ALL clients regardless of account size, have access to exactly the same optimized investment strategies – directly holding hundreds of stocks across the US stock market, following “best-practice” portfolio construction techniques.
One-click control over downside
Pick your downside floor dollar level and your target upside dollar level, and our Goal Optimizing Outcome Shaping Engine algorithm does the rest – automatically allocating between expertly designed stock and bond portfolios to maximize the chances of hitting your upside target without ending up below your downside floor.
Pick your favorite analogy – think of it as a self driving car, adaptive cruise control or an airplane auto-pilot for your investment account, but remember that you’re always in control at all times!

How it all works
- Your account value and settings are regularly monitored for changes
- We compute your risk budget from your account, upside and downside levels
- The engine reallocates to a mix of stocks and bonds
- The rebalancer generates trades as needed
You can update your downside floor and upside target, change strategies, liquidate a strategy to generate cash, use available cash to make new allocations to a strategy, or transfer cash between a linked bank and your Optimal account at any time – all at zero cost. Your trades are usually implemented the very next business day and there are never any commissions or other trading fees!
Optimal’s rebalancing engine is continually working to maximize the probability of reaching your upside target without violating your downside protection goal
