Portfolio Sharpe ratio

In this exercise you are now going to calculate the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio. How do you think the portfolio Sharpe ratio will be different to the S&P500 Sharpe ratio? You'll find out in this exercise.

You have the portfolio value over time under pf_AUM and the number of months for that data under months. Last, the risk-free rate is available under rfr, which is still set to zero.
