Using historical prices of the Australian All Ordinaries Index (AORD) and the following four companies traded on the Australian Stock Exchange: Rio Tinto Limited (RIO.AX), ANZ Ltd (ANZ.AX), Wesfarmers Ltd (WES.AX) and Telstra Corp. (TLS.AX) provided above, answer the following questions:
1. Using the All Ordinaries index as a proxy for the Australian market portfolio, comment on the performance of the Australian stock market from Jan 2013 to May 2019.
1.1 Computer monthly and yearly holding period returns of the above stocks and index using adjusted Close Price (Adj Close). Briefly comment on their performance from Jan 2013 to May 2019.
1]
The AORD has increased from 5120.4 in January 2013 to 6699.2 in May 2019
Increase in market portfolio = (ending value - beginning value) / beginning value = (6699.2 - 5120.4) / 5120.4 = 0.3083, or 30.83%
2]
monthly holding period return = (current month price - previous month price) / previous month price
Yearly holding period return = (current year price - previous year price) / previous year price
