Performance Analysis and Risk Analysis

Hi,
I want to do something like this follewing:
a. Evaluate the performance in meaningful detail by attributing returns to their
fundamental and asset-specific components, in absolute terms or relative
to a benchmark.

b.Explore the risk characteristics of my portfolio,including its predicted beta,
exposure to style and industry risk factors,and active risk with respect to a benchmark you specify.

Is there any Lib or Project I can use here?
Thanks!

Best Regard

Take a look at Pyfolio, our open sourced library to analyze your algorithm's performance: https://www.quantopian.com/posts/new-feature-comprehensive-backtest-analysis

You can also use it on this platform in the research environment, by running a tearsheet.

Thanks Alisa,
I have tried to use Pyfolio for some days,and it's great useful for my work in calculating some risk indicators.
And if I want to analysis the performance of my portfolio, is there some models like Brinson here I can try?

Thanks.

Best Regards.

The Brinson model isn't explicitly available in the Pyfolio library, but you can see the risk metrics (alpha, beta) and cumulative returns/volatility of the algo compared to the benchmark. If you'd like to expand on this functionality, you're welcome to contribute to the open source project!

Thanks very much Yan WU, I will enjoy it,thansk!
