Fit them to what you own.
Point a theme at one of your portfolios. The optimizer proposes weights that balance return and risk within your trade restrictions.
Test before you commit.
Compare performance, volatility and diversification before and after, side by side, so you know what an idea really adds.
BeforeAfter
Trade with virtual money.
Record orders and cash in a virtual portfolio. No broker account, no real money at stake — just a clear record of every decision.
Cash balance $14,040
Recorded · no brokerTrack, learn, repeat.
Portfolios update daily with each holding’s performance and risk. When things drift, go around the loop again.
Why diversify?
Drag the slider to add stocks to an equal-weight portfolio. Volatility falls fast at first, then levels off. What remains is market risk, which no amount of diversification removes — which is why Pininvest scores every theme and portfolio on risk, not just return.
Illustration: each stock has 35% annual volatility and a 0.25 average correlation with the others.

Want the details? The white paper explains Pininvest's key features and how its analytics are built.
Yes. Pininvest is free for registered users, and most features will stay free for the community. Corporate licensees help cover our costs as the platform matures.
No. Portfolios in Pininvest are virtual: you record orders and cash, and Pininvest tracks the results. Nothing is connected to a broker, so no real money ever moves.
Performance is the return over the period you select, from two weeks to one year. Risk is measured mainly as annualized volatility — how much returns swing — together with diversification. Pininvest shows them side by side because a strong return with extreme swings may not suit your goals.
Prices and fundamentals come from established market-data providers, and themes, strategies and portfolios are refreshed every trading day.
No. Pininvest provides data and tools to research and test your own ideas. Past performance does not guarantee future results, so do your own research before investing real money.
Yes. Pininvest is available on iOS and Android, so you can follow your themes and portfolios on the go.
