+"""Benchmark comparison and historical performance analysis.
+
+Provides real market data integration for portfolio vs benchmark comparisons.
+Uses fin-infra's market data providers (easy_market) for historical prices.
+
+Generic Applicability:
+- Personal finance apps: Portfolio performance tracking
+- Wealth management: Client reporting and benchmarking
+- Robo-advisors: Automated performance attribution
+- Investment platforms: Historical chart data
+- Financial advisors: Performance comparison reports
+
+Features:
+- Real historical prices from market data providers (Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage)
+- Time-series data for charting (normalized to 100)
+- Alpha, beta, and Sharpe ratio calculations
+- Multi-benchmark support (SPY, QQQ, VTI, BND, custom)
+- Caching-friendly design (keyword-only arguments)
+
+Examples:
+    >>> from fin_infra.analytics.benchmark import (
+    ...     get_benchmark_history,
+    ...     compare_portfolio_to_benchmark,
+    ... )
+    >>>
+    >>> # Get historical benchmark data for charting
+    >>> history = await get_benchmark_history("SPY", period="1y")
+    >>> print(f"SPY 1Y return: {history.total_return_percent:.2f}%")
+    >>>
+    >>> # Compare portfolio to benchmark
+    >>> comparison = await compare_portfolio_to_benchmark(
+    ...     portfolio_history=[...],  # List of portfolio snapshots
+    ...     benchmark="SPY",
+    ...     period="1y",

+    >>> print(f"Alpha: {comparison.alpha:.2f}%")
