2. Analyze the portfolio's performance over the specified period, breaking down returns by asset class.
3. Compare performance against the benchmark (if provided) and identify deviations.
4. Calculate correlations between asset classes to identify concentration risks.
5. Suggest specific adjustments to improve asset allocation, diversification, and risk-adjusted returns.
