Keel Projects

Portfolio management and investment risk tools

Keel Projects develops two independent tools for investors and wealth professionals. Verinax gives self-directed investors access to the same kinds of portfolio construction and risk calculations that expert portfolio managers use. Ballast measures how much investment risk a person is willing and financially able to take, and can support the risk-profile stage of client onboarding and Know Your Client (KYC) review.

Verinax

Portfolio management and allocation

Verinax is for self-directed investors who own several stocks or ETFs and want to manage the portfolio with more discipline. It uses the same kinds of calculations that expert portfolio managers use to identify concentration and overlap, compare six ways to allocate the same holdings, and build a trade plan for the method the user chooses.

  • Diagnoses diversification, concentration and near-duplicate holdings
  • Compares six established portfolio allocation methods
  • Turns the chosen allocation into a trade plan and monitors drift

Reach a rebalancing decision with a clearer view of portfolio risk, a comparison of credible alternatives and a practical plan for moving to the chosen target.

Ballast

Investment risk assessment

Ballast is for individual investors who want to understand their risk profile and for wealth professionals who need a structured risk assessment during onboarding or KYC review. It measures willingness to take risk and financial ability to absorb losses, then explains eight parts of the result in plain language.

  • About twelve minutes, with no sign-up required to start
  • Eight separate measurements instead of one unexplained score
  • A versioned result that supports discussion, documentation and later reassessment

Replace a one-number risk label with a clearer explanation of what the investor can afford, what the investor is comfortable with and what needs further discussion.

Evidence

What the products are built on

Verinax

Six established allocation methods, including minimum variance, risk parity, equal weight, maximum Sharpe, Black-Litterman with no added views, and downside-risk optimization.

Ballast

Eight risk measurements drawn from questions and decision exercises, with financial capacity setting a ceiling on the final risk band.

Shared standard

The calculation engines are deterministic. The same inputs produce the same outputs, with no AI in the calculation path.
