ATTENTION: Please update okama to version 1.1.5 or higher to use the latest financial API (api.okama.io)

Okama

okama is a library with investment portfolio analyzing & optimization tools. CFA recommendations are used in quantitative finance.

okama goes with free «end of day» historical stock markets data and macroeconomic indicators through API.

...entities should not be multiplied without necessity

Okama main features

• Investment portfolio constrained Markowitz Mean-Variance Analysis (MVA) and optimization
• Rebalanced portfolio optimization with constraints (multi-period Efficient Frontier)
• Monte Carlo Simulations for financial assets and investment portfolios
• Popular risk metrics: VAR, CVaR, semi-deviation, variance and drawdowns
• Different financial ratios: Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Diversification ratio
• Forecasting models according to normal and lognormal distribution
• Testing distribution on historical data
• Dividend yield and other dividend indicators for stocks
• Backtesting and comparing historical performance of broad range of assets and indexes in multiple currencies
• Methods to track the performance of index funds (ETF) and compare them with benchmarks
• Main macroeconomic indicators: inflation, central banks rates
• Matplotlib visualization scripts for the Efficient Frontier, Transition map and assets risk / return performance

Financial data and macroeconomic indicators

End of day historical data

• Stocks and ETF for main world markets
• Mutual funds
• Commodities
• Stock indexes

Currencies

• FX currencies
• Crypto currencies
• Central bank exchange rates

Macroeconomic indicators

For many countries (USA, United Kingdom, European Union, Russia, Israel etc.):

• Inflation
• Central bank rates
• CAPE10 (Shiller P/E) Cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratios

Other historical data

• Real estate prices
• Top bank rates

Installation

pip install okama

The latest development version can be installed directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/mbk-dev/okama@dev

Getting started

1. Compare several assets from different stock markets. Get USD-adjusted performance

import okama as ok

x = ok.AssetList(['SPY.US', 'BND.US', 'DBXD.XFRA'], ccy='USD')
x  # all examples are for Jupyter Notebook/iPython. For raw Python interpreter use 'print(x)' instead.

Get the main parameters for the set:

x.describe()

Get the assets accumulated return, plot it and compare with the USD inflation:

x.wealth_indexes.plot()

2. Create a dividend stocks portfolio with base currency EUR

weights = [0.3, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1]
assets = ['T.US', 'XOM.US', 'FRE.XFRA', 'SNW.XFRA', 'LKOH.MOEX']
pf = ok.Portfolio(assets, weights=weights, ccy='EUR')
pf.table

Plot the dividend yield of the portfolio (adjusted to the base currency).

pf.dividend_yield.plot()

3. Draw an Efficient Frontier for 2 popular ETF: SPY and GLD

ls = ['SPY.US', 'GLD.US']
curr = 'USD'
last_date='2020-10'
# Rebalancing periods is one year (default value)
frontier = ok.EfficientFrontierReb(ls, last_date=last_date, ccy=curr, rebalancing_period='year')
frontier.names

Get the Efficient Frontier points for rebalanced portfolios and plot the chart with the assets risk/CAGR points:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

points = frontier.ef_points

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,6))
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2, top=1.5)
frontier.plot_assets(kind='cagr')  # plots the assets points on the chart
ax = plt.gca()
ax.plot(points.Risk, points.CAGR) 

* - rebalancing period is one year.

4. Get a Transition Map for allocations

ls = ['SPY.US', 'GLD.US', 'BND.US']
map = ok.EfficientFrontier(ls, ccy='USD').plot_transition_map(cagr=False)

More examples are available in form of Jupyter Notebooks.

Documentation

The official documentation is hosted on readthedocs.org: https://okama.readthedocs.io/

RoadMap

The plan for okama is to add more functions that will be useful to investors and asset managers.

• Add Omega ratio to EfficientFrontier, EfficientFrontierReb and Portfolio classes.
• Add withdrawals as an attribute of Portfolio class.
• Add Black-Litterman asset allocation
• Accelerate optimization for multi-period Efficient Frontier: minimize_risk and maximize_risk methods of EfficientFrontierReb class.
• Make a single EfficientFrontier class for all optimizations: single-period or multu-period with rebalancing period as a parameter.
• Add different utility functions for optimizers: semi-deviation, VaR, CVaR, drawdowns etc.
• Add more functions based on suggestion of users.
