Goal

Collect individual returns into a portfolio by assigning a weight to each stock

five stocks: “SPY”, “EFA”, “IJS”, “EEM”, “AGG”

from 2012-12-31 to 2017-12-31

1 Import stock prices

# Choose stocks

symbols <- c("SPY", "EFA", "IJS", "EEM", "AGG")

# Using tq_get() ----
prices <- tq_get(x    = symbols,
                 get  = "stock.prices",
                 from = "2012-12-31",
                 to   = "2017-12-31")

2 Convert prices to returns

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

# period_returns = c("yearly", "quarterly", "monthly", "weekly")

3 Assign a weight to each asset

symbols <- asset_returns_tbl %>% distinct(asset) %>% pull()

w <- c(0.25,
       0.25,
       0.20,
       0.20,
       0.10)

w_tbl <- tibble(symbols, w)

4 Build a portfolio

portfolio_returns_rebalanced_monthly_tbl <- asset_returns_tbl %>%
  
  tq_portfolio(assets_col   = asset,
               returns_col  = returns,
               weights      = w_tbl,
               col_rename   = "returns",
               rebalance_on = "months")
