Project #1

This project requires you to analyze performance, correlation, and expenses for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). You will need to download data and perform some calculations. Below is a list of Vanguard ETFs:

Ticker:	Asset Class:	Expense Ratio	Comparable ETF	Comparable ETF Expense Ratio	10-year Monthly Correlation
BLV	Long-Term Bond	.07%	ILTB	.06%	3.03%, 2.90%
BSV	Short term bond	.04%	SCHO	.06%
VUG	Vanguard growth	.06%	QQQ	.2%
VTV	Vanguard value	.04%	SCGV	.04%
VOO	Vanguard S&P 500	.03%	SCHX	.03%
VO	Vanguard mid cap	.04%	IWR	.19%
VB	Vanguard small cap	.05%	SCHA	.04%

2. For each of the ETFs, identify distribution of assets and the top 10 holdings based on percentage of assets.

3. For each of the above ETFs you will need to download the last 10 years of monthly price data (can use YahooFinance). Transform the price data into monthly returns. Calculate for each ETF:
   1. Arithmetic Return
   2. Geometric Return
   3. Standard Deviation

Ticker:	Arithmetic Return	Geometric Return	Standard Deviation
