Assignment:

  • Add a “fixed income” (bonds) component to your stock market simulation
    • Assume bond market returns are normally distributed
      • mean = 7.88%
      • standard deviation = 6.86%
    • Your “portfolio” allocation should be 60% stocks and 40% bonds
    • Stock market and bond market returns should be combined each year and then reallocated in the next year.
