What is Portfolio Expected Return?

This is the weighted average of the returns of the individual stocks and their weight in the portfolio.

Expected Return of this Portfolio.

= (Weight of GE stock x expected return of GE stock) + (Weight of Apple stock x expected return on Apple stock)

= 11.58%

In conclusion, the expected return is 11.58%.
