This assignment delves into an analysis of four prominent Australian businesses: start.com.au, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG), BHP Billiton Limited (BHP), and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). The analysis examines their respective industries, operations, and financial performance. It explores the correlation between these companies, particularly focusing on the strong relationship between BHP and FMG due to their shared presence in the mining sector. The assignment further evaluates the risk-return profiles of each company and proposes a diversified portfolio option based on a selected set of companies. Finally, it outlines calculations for the expected return and standard deviation of a hypothetical portfolio constructed by an investor named Janson.
