Market Crises

Preparing for the 'Unthinkable': Stress testing your wealth against history.

The Black Swan Theory

A "Black Swan" is an event that is unpredictable, has a massive impact, and is often rationalized in hindsight as being "obvious." Market crashes like the 2008 Financial Crisis or the COVID-19 pandemic are Black Swans. Most financial tools assume these events are 1-in-1,000-year occurrences, but the math shows they happen much more frequently.

Historical Replay

Knowing how your portfolio would have performed in a "typical year" isn't enough. You need to know if you can survive the worst years. StressTest.pro uses historical replay to show exactly how your current allocation would have fared during:

2008 Financial Crisis

The "GFC" caused a -55% drop in the S&P 500 spread over 18 months. Test if your bonds provided the protection you expected.

COVID-19 Crash

A -34% drop in just 33 days. The fastest crash in history. See if your "diversification" actually worked when everything correlated to 1.

2022 Russia-Ukraine War

A geopolitical shock that shattered commodity supply lines. Learn why oil surged while growth equities collapsed in a severe inflationary spike.

Fat-Tail Adjustment

Standard finance models use "Gaussian" distributions (Bell Curves) that underestimate the probability of extreme crashes. StressTest.pro utilizes **Fat-Tail distribution** models to provide more realistic worst-case scenarios than your brokerage firm likely provides.
