Goal

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

five stocks: “SPY”, “EFA”, “IJS”, “EEM”, “AGG” from 2012-12-31 to 2017-12-31

1 Import stock prices

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

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