A console-based investment analysis system written in C that evaluates portfolio risk, analyzes historical price data, and forecasts future growth — combining core programming fundamentals with real financial logic.
SIPM (Strategic Investment & Portfolio Manager) simulates real-world investment evaluation through a menu-driven CLI. It loads historical price data from a file, runs statistical analysis, identifies price trends, and projects compound growth using recursion — all without any external dependencies.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Statistical Risk Analysis | Calculates mean return, variance, and standard deviation |
| Asset Classification | Labels assets as Conservative, Balanced, or High Volatility |
| Price Range Analysis | Sorts prices via Bubble Sort, identifies min/max and spread |
| Growth Forecasting | Recursive compound interest projection over N years |
| Report Generation | Auto-saves analysis summary to report.txt |
| Input Validation | Handles non-numeric and invalid inputs gracefully |

- Arrays & pointer arithmetic
- File I/O (
fopen,fscanf,fprintf) - Statistical computation (mean, variance, standard deviation)
- Bubble Sort implementation
- Recursion (compound growth)
- Modular programming & defensive input validation
- Expects clean numerical data in
prices.txt - Uses Bubble Sort (intentionally simple for learning purposes)
- Not intended for real financial decision-making
- CSV file support
- Dynamic memory allocation
- Quicksort / Mergesort implementation
- Monte Carlo simulation
- Graphical output via external tools
