Goal

Examine how each asset contributes to portfolio standard deviation. This is to ensure that our risk is not concentrated in any one asset.

1 Import stock prices

Choose your stocks from 2012-12-31 to present.

symbols <- c("MELI", "NVDA", "AFL", "TTD", "GOOG")

prices <- tq_get(x    = symbols,
                 get  = "stock.prices",    
                 from = "2016-12-31",
                 to   = "2023-03-31")

2 Convert prices to returns (monthly)

asset_returns_tbl <- prices %>%
    
    group_by(symbol) %>%
    
    tq_transmute(select     = adjusted, 
                 mutate_fun = periodReturn, 
                 period     = "monthly",
                 type       = "log") %>%
    
    slice(-1) %>%
    
    ungroup() %>%
    
    set_names(c("asset", "date", "returns"))

3 Calculate Component Contribution to Portfolio Volatility

# Transform data into wide form
asset_returns_wide_tbl <- asset_returns_tbl %>%

    pivot_wider(names_from = asset, values_from = returns) %>%

    column_to_rownames(var = "date")

Which of the assets in your portfolio the largest contributor to the portfolio volatility? Do you think your portfolio risk is concentrated in any one asset?

The largest contributor to my portfolio volatility is NVDA with over 25% contribution. I think the risk of my portfolio is mostly concentrated to NVDA followed closely by MELI as these are the top to contributors to my portfolio.
