Novpilar monitors your portfolio continuously, learns the boundaries you set for risk, and adjusts allocations within those limits. No sudden strategy shifts, no exposure beyond what you have approved.
The underlying model does not replace judgement; it applies the boundaries you set with more consistency than a periodic manual review could manage.
Account holdings, market pricing, and macroeconomic indicators are pulled into the system each trading day, giving a current view of your position rather than a snapshot from the last statement.
Your stated tolerance, time horizon, and income needs are translated into explicit limits. These limits are set by you and your adviser, and the model is not permitted to exceed them.
When drift from target allocation is detected, the system proposes a correction. Adjustments above a set threshold are routed for human sign-off before execution.
Each portfolio is assessed against a set of measurable indicators rather than a single composite score. This gives a clearer picture of where capital is concentrated and where it is protected.
The figures below illustrate the type of output a quarterly review would show. Actual values vary by individual holdings and market conditions.
| Indicator | Current | Target Range |
|---|---|---|
| Equity exposure | 38.5% | 30–45% |
| Fixed income allocation | 42.0% | 35–50% |
| Cash & liquid reserve | 14.2% | 10–20% |
| Volatility (90-day) | 6.1% | <8% |
Based on current drift patterns, the model estimates a low probability of requiring rebalancing action before the next scheduled review. This is an indicative projection, not a guarantee of future performance.
For capital you are relying on in retirement, the priority is protecting against unnecessary exposure, not maximising short-term return.
Account data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. Access is restricted to authenticated systems and reviewed personnel only.
The model can propose changes but cannot execute trades beyond your pre-agreed risk band without a qualified adviser's confirmation.
A minimum cash reserve is maintained at all times, so planned withdrawals are not dependent on selling assets at an unfavourable moment.
We set out the logic rather than ask you to trust a result you cannot inspect.
Every recommendation is accompanied by the indicators that triggered it. You and your adviser can trace a proposed change back to the specific data point that prompted it.
Strategies are tested against past market cycles, including periods of significant downturn, before being applied to live accounts. Past results do not predict future outcomes.
Allocations are spread across asset classes and geographies to reduce reliance on any single market. The aim is steady growth with capital preservation in mind.
Novpilar was developed to apply data analysis to a problem that is traditionally handled with periodic, manual reviews: adjusting a retirement portfolio as circumstances change.
The system does not replace the role of an adviser. It gives that adviser, and you, a continuously updated view of risk and liquidity, so decisions are based on current information rather than a quarterly snapshot.
Learn more about our approachIf your question is not covered here, our team is glad to talk it through directly.
You complete a structured assessment covering your time horizon, income needs, and comfort with fluctuation. This is reviewed with an adviser before any limits are set in the system, and you can request a change to those limits at any time.
Yes. A liquidity reserve is maintained specifically so that planned or unplanned withdrawals do not require selling assets at a poor time. Withdrawal requests are processed in line with standard custodian timelines.
The model is a decision-support tool based on historical data and current indicators; it does not predict markets with certainty. Because adjustments above a set threshold require adviser sign-off, an inaccurate signal is reviewed before it affects your holdings.
A conversation with our team costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We will talk through how the risk boundaries work before any account is opened.
