NAOI Dynamic Investment Theory enables you to aim for the financial goals you really want to achieve in life, not just those "assigned" to you by an advisor based on your risk profile. But you first must understand if your goals are "reasonable". This is the purpose of the NAOI Return Required Calculator shown below. It enables you to transform your monetary goals into the average annual Required Return % from your investments needed to achieve them. Once this annual return is defined - either you or an advisor can determine which standardized Dynamic Investment or Dynamic Portfolio is most appropriate for you.
The NAOI Required Return Calculator
Use this calculator to estimate the average annual Rate of Return % required of a portfolio designed to meet your investing goals. You can change the input variables to see how the Required Return % is affected. The data entry fields are explained below the calculator.

Aiming for Higher Financial Goals
The NAOI believes that individuals aim for investing goals that they really want to achieve in life; goals that get them excited! In today's world of investing this is not possible. Using traditional Modern Portfolio Theory methods your financial future is determined by what is essentially a "guess" at your risk profile. Your portfolio is then designed based on this risk guess and your expected annual returns are fixed. The investing goals that you really want to achieve are not even in the equation.
The introduction of Dynamic Investment Theory changes the equation. With Dynamic Investments capable of producing average returns of 20%+ without excessive risk, individuals can aim for much higher goals and have a realistic chance of meeting them. The NAOI Required Return Calculator was created to assist individuals in quantifying the feasibility these new goals.
