    The portfolio return is 2.35%

    Explanation:

    The portfolio return is the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. The weightage of each stock is the investment in each stock as a percentage of total investment in the portfolio. The return of a three stock portfolio can be calculated using the following formula,

    rP = rA * wA + rB * wB + rC * wC

    Where,

    rA, rB & rC represents the individual stock returns wA, wB & wC represents the weightage of each stock

    rP = - 1.53% * 0.25 + 8.07% * 0.3 + 0.7% * 0.45

    rP = 0.023535 or 2.3535% rounded off to 2.35%
