In this problem, we will find the portfolio return and risk for a three-asset portfolio using IBM, JNJ, and KO. We have collected monthly stock prices for the past four years. As with our prior chapter, we are using the adjusted price, which accounts for stock splits and dividends. Our goal here is to find the portfolio's expected return and variance if we invest 25% in IBM, 50% in JNJ, and the remaining 25% in KO. (NOTE: We are assuming that the future returns will follow the historical pattern.) Next, we find the monthly returns for each stock in our portfolio.
