Black–Litterman single-view allocation
Enter prior/view returns, view confidence, volatility, risk aversion, exposure cap and scenario return.
Black–Litterman backs out equilibrium returns from a market portfolio and updates the prior with investor views and uncertainty, avoiding extreme weights from feeding subjective forecasts directly into mean-variance optimisation. A full model needs covariance, view matrices and an error structure. This page is a single-asset teaching approximation: it blends two return inputs by confidence, then demonstrates capped long exposure.
Not a full matrix Black–Litterman model; covariance, view Ω, trading constraints and shorting are omitted.

How do exposure and scenario P&L change when a market prior is blended with one confidence-weighted view?

The mechanics · payoff and exposure
\mu_{post}=\mu_{prior}+c(\mu_{view}-\mu_{prior}),\quad w=clip(\frac{\mu_{post}}{\gamma\sigma^2},0,w_{max})
Confidence c is a linear 0–100% proxy; risk aversion, volatility and maximum exposure are user inputs.
