You should make an estimation of your portfolio’s performance.


Your portfolio will be graded upon you following your criteria, your supporting rationale, and projected results. All quantitative metrics used should be clearly stated in your portfolio paper and will also be part of your grade. Remember, your portfolio should be balanced, diverse, et al in accordance with your objectives. Therefore, you should have quantitative metrics to evaluate your investment selections as well as the overall performance. Certainly, it would be fair to expect your portfolio to have a beta, correlation coefficient, etc.
