View the Efficient Frontier Graphically

You can get a graphical view of the set of optimal portfolio scenarios recommended based on two optimization parameters. By default, these are budgeted cost and budgeted benefit. Set the scenario constraints and optimization parameters and generate the scenarios beforehand.

You can also view details about each set of actual portfolios including the portfolio cost, benefit, ROI, score, count, and the slope.

Until you regenerate the graph, this graph is not recalculated.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the scenario and click Efficient Frontier.

    The Efficient Frontier page appears.

  2. In the Graph Options section, complete the following fields:
    Budget Range

    Defines the budget range for the graph. The range is used to zoom in on a particular portion of the graph. If you do not define a budget range, the graph starts at the budgeted cost amount of zero. If you do not define a resolution, the graph ends at the highest budgeted cost. The investments that fall between the budgeted cost range are displayed on the graph.

    Resolution

    Defines the graph resolution. Depending on what resolution you select, the graph display a few points (Low resolution) to many points (High resolution). The lower the resolution you set, the quicker the efficient frontier graph generates and loads on the page.

  3. Click Generate Graph.
