You are currently working as an analyst at Financial Consulting Bhd. Your supervisor has instructed you to form an equity fund portfolio that consists of TWO (2) banks, namely Maybank Bhd & Public Bank Bhd. The portfolios have a total fund size of RM10 million. Before you can start with your analysis, you have to collect monthly stock prices of each stock in your portfolio over the last 12 months.

Compute the monthly stock return of each stock in your portfolio in each of the last 12 months. Show your answers in organized tabular format. Based on a review of the return data, decide which investment appears to be riskier.
