A portfolio is 60% stocks with an expected return of 8% and 40% bonds with an expected return of 3%. What is the portfolio's expected return?

  1. A. 6.0%Correct
  2. B. 4.8%
  3. C. 6.5%
  4. D. 5.5%

Takeaway. Expected return is always the weighted average of the parts; only risk gets a diversification discount, and never the return.
