# abdallah abdelkarim

# In the world of finance, managing asset allocation is a crucial aspect of investment strategy.
# As market conditions change, it’s essential to rebalance portfolios to maintain desired risk and return
# profiles. Dynamic portfolio rebalancing involves adjusting the weights of assets in a portfolio based
# on predefined rules or algorithms.

# In this tutorial, we will explore how to implement dynamic portfolio rebalancing using Python.
# We will download real financial data using the yfinance library, analyze the data and create a dynamic
# rebalancing strategy based on historical performance. We will leverage object-oriented programming concepts
# to build a rob ust and flexible portfolio management system.

import yfinance as yf
import numpy as np
import [Link] as plt
import pandas as pd

#. Downloading Financial Data

# To demonstrate dynamic portfolio rebalancing, we need historical financial data for multiple assets.
# We will download data for three diverse assets: Tesla (TSLA), Amazon (AMZN) and Bitcoin (BTC-USD).
#We will fetch data until the end of February 2024 to analyze the performance over a substantial period.

assets = ['TSLA', 'AMZN', 'BTC-USD']

data = [Link](assets, start='2020-01-01', end='2024-03-14')['Adj Close']

# Visualizing Asset Prices

# Let’s visualize the historical prices of the selected assets to understand their performance over time.
# We will plot the adjusted close prices on a single graph for easy comparison.

# The plot above shows the historical prices of Tesla, Amazon and Bitcoin from January 2020 to mars 2024.
# We can observe the price trends and volatility of each asset over the period.

# Calculating Returns and Volatility

# To optimize our portfolio, we need to analyze the historical returns and volatility of each asset.
# We will calculate the daily returns and volatility of the assets to understand their performance
# characteristics.
returns = data.pct_change()
mean_returns = [Link]()
cov_matrix = [Link]()

# Annualized returns and covariance matrix


annual_returns = mean_returns * 252
annual_covariance = cov_matrix * 252

# The pct_change() function calculates the daily percentage change in asset prices. We then compute the mean
# daily returns, covariance matrix, annualized returns and annualized covariance matrix for our analysis.

# Efficient Frontier and Portfolio Optimization

# The efficient frontier represents a set of optimal portfolios that offer the highest expected return
# for a given level of risk. We will use the Markowitz Portfolio Optimization technique to find the optimal
# asset allocation that maximizes returns while minimizing risk.

# The plot above illustrates the efficient frontier, showing the trade-off between risk (volatility) and return.
# Each point represents a randomly generated portfolio with different asset allocations. The color represents
# the Sharpe Ratio, a measure of risk-adjusted return.

# Dynamic Portfolio Rebalancing Strategy

# Now that we have explored the efficient frontier, we can implement a dynamic portfolio rebalancing strategy
# based on historical performance. We will rebalance the portfolio quarterly based on the optimal asset
# allocation derived from the efficient frontier.

class RebalancingStrategy:
def __init__(self, assets, returns, cov_matrix):
[Link] = assets
[Link] = returns
self.cov_matrix = cov_matrix

def get_optimal_weights(self):
portfolio = Portfolio([Link], self.cov_matrix)
num_portfolios = 10000
results, weights = portfolio.generate_random_portfolios(num_portfolios)

max_sharpe_idx = [Link](results[2])
optimal_weights = weights[max_sharpe_idx]

return optimal_weights

def rebalance_portfolio(self):
optimal_weights = self.get_optimal_weights()
current_prices = [Link][-1]

portfolio_value = 1000000
asset_values = {asset: portfolio_value * weight for asset, weight in zip([Link], optimal_weights)}

shares_to_buy = {asset: asset_values[asset] / price for asset, price in current_prices.items()}

return shares_to_buy

strategy = RebalancingStrategy(assets, annual_returns, annual_covariance)


shares_to_buy = strategy.rebalance_portfolio()
print(shares_to_buy)

{'AMZN': 3346.4735318485086, 'BTC-USD': 5.583767541066703, 'TSLA': 6.286088778837214}

# In the RebalancingStrategy class, we calculate the optimal asset allocation based on the efficient frontier
# and rebalance the portfolio accordingly. The shares_to_buy dictionary provides the number of shares to buy
# for each asset to achieve the optimal allocation.

# Conclusion

# In this tutorial, we have explored the concept of dynamic portfolio rebalancing using Python.
# By leveraging historical financial data and portfolio optimization techniques, we can create a robust asset
# allocation strategy that adapts to changing market conditions.

# We implemented a dynamic rebalancing strategy based on the efficient frontier, optimizing the portfolio
# for risk-adjusted returns. By rebalancing the portfolio quarterly, we can maintain the desired asset
# allocation and maximize returns while managing risk effectively.

# Dynamic portfolio rebalancing is a powerful tool for investors looking to optimize their investment
# portfolios and achieve their financial goals. By combining Python programming with financial analysis
# techniques, we can make informed decisions and enhance our investment strategies.

# Remember, the key to successful portfolio management lies in continuous monitoring, analysis and adaptation.
# Stay informed, stay agile and let Python be your guide in navigating the complex world of asset allocation
# and investment management.
