A portfolio's expected return is calculated as which of the following?
a.The highest historical return of any single holding
b.The return of the single largest position
c.The weighted average of the expected returns of its individual holdings
d.The return of the benchmark index minus fees
Explanation
A portfolio's expected return is the weighted average of the expected returns of its component assets, with weights equal to each asset's proportion of the portfolio. This aggregates individual expectations into a portfolio-level estimate. Unlike return, portfolio risk depends on correlations and is not simply a weighted average of individual risks.
