Step 1
A group of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, cash, and cash equivalents, as well as closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), refers to a portfolio. Generally, the foundations of a portfolio are stocks, bonds, and cash.
The gain or loss realized by an investment portfolio encompassing several types of investments is referred to as portfolio return.
A measure of a portfolio's return dispersion is portfolio variance. The total of a portfolio's real returns over a certain time period is its variance.
The portfolio weights are the proportion of each security in the portfolio.
