Q6 Which weighting scheme would have performed the best?

Hint: Make your argument using the calculated Sharpe

Both portfolio 5 and 8 have a sharpe ratio of 1.61, making them the top performing portfolios. Portfolio 5 had a weight of 20% TSLA, 60% AMZN, and 20% NFLX. Portfolio 8 had a weight of 25% TSLA, 50% AMZN, and 25% NFLX.

Q7 Which weighting scheme is most volatile?

Hint: Calculate Beta from the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Make your argument based on the calculated Beta.

Based on calculated beta, portfolio 1 is the most volatile with a beta of 1.9166. Since a beta greater than 1 indicates that the security’s price tends to be more volatile than the market, this is the most volatile portfolio out of the others. Its weighting scheme is 80% TSLA, 10% AMZN, and 10% NFLX.
