Hi Gokou3,
Of course you need to find out the return rate of the individual classes. About how to arrive on the return rate, it will depends on many other variables.
Say you invest in RM10k in stock markets on Jan 1, and then review its return on Dec 31, it will be a very straight forward calculation. But I bet that in the real world, it doesn't work that way. You might buy and sell (trading), or using dollar cost averaging (different entry point). You have to calculate separately for every investment classes to come up with the appropriate return to be used in this form.
How about real estate investment? It is not simply buy a house at RM100k, and think that it has appreciate 10% by year end. It involves rental yield, maintenance etc.
We will talk more about calculating return for every single asset classes in the future.

Perhaps I have read it wrong, but I think you should also list the beginning market values and calculate weightings based on those MV.
