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

symbols <- c("AAPL", "DIS", "NKE", "GE", "SBUX")

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() %>%

    set_names(c("asset", "date", "returns"))

3 Assign a weight to each asset

# symbols
symbols <- asset_returns_tbl %>% distinct(asset) %>% pull()
symbols
## [1] "AAPL" "DIS"  "GE"   "NKE"  "SBUX"
# weight
weights <- c(0.25, 
             0.25, 
             0.20, 
             0.20, 
             0.10)
weights
## [1] 0.25 0.25 0.20 0.20 0.10
w_tbl <- tibble(symbols, weights)
w_tbl
## # A tibble: 5 × 2
##   symbols weights
##   <chr>     <dbl>
## 1 AAPL       0.25
## 2 DIS        0.25
## 3 GE         0.2 
## 4 NKE        0.2 
## 5 SBUX       0.1

4 Build a portfolio

portfolio_returns_tbl <- asset_returns_tbl %>%

    tq_portfolio(assets_col = asset,
                 returns_col = returns,
                 weigh = w_tbl,
                 rebalance_on = "months",
                 col_rename = "returns")

5 Calculate Sharpe Ratio

rfr <- 0.0003

portfolio_returns_tbl %>%
    
    tq_performance(Ra = returns,
                   performance_fun = SharpeRatio,
                   Rf              = rfr,
                   FUN             = "StdDev" )
## # A tibble: 1 × 1
##   `StdDevSharpe(Rf=0%,p=95%)`
##                         <dbl>
## 1                       0.315
