ffn is a Python library of financial functions for quantitative finance, built on Pandas, NumPy, and SciPy. It provides utilities for performance measurement, evaluation, plotting, and common data transformations of financial time series.

Use cases

  • calculate portfolio performance metrics like sharpe ratio and drawdown
  • compute mean-variance optimal portfolio weights
  • analyze returns of a set of tickers
  • transform and resample financial price data
  • plot cumulative performance of multiple assets
  • evaluate algorithmic trading strategy statistics

When to choose

  • you need quick quantitative finance calculations on pandas data
  • you want performance and risk metrics without a full backtesting engine
  • you are prototyping portfolio analysis in Python

When to avoid

  • you need a full backtesting framework (use bt instead)
  • you need real-time market data feeds
  • you need enterprise-grade guaranteed stability (it is an alpha release)
