25 portfolios from FF3 -factor model in SAS

Hey guys, I am having a hard time trying to construct 25 portfolios based on 5 deciles on size and 5 deciles on book-to-market. I was asked to get the datasets from CRSP ( wrds) website but I am not sure what variables I am supposed download. The only thing I am sure of is that I have to include monthly stock returns from NYSE,AMEX and NASDAQ; so I get a column that includes the sum of the three indexes from 1985 till 2019. The other two columns are date and total market cap. What am I supposed to do next? Any articles or videos are welcome.

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Today’s session was amazing and incredibly useful. My mentor was a massive help with both networking and interview preparation, particularly for my ongoing HSBC programme application. He helped me understand how to approach networking more effectively and gave me valuable advice on preparing for the next stage of the recruitment process. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into helping me, and I left the session feeling more confident and clear about my next steps. As always, he was very kind, approachable and easy to speak with, which made the whole experience even better.”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“This mentor provided valuable and constructive feedback that helped me better understand how to approach interviews and identify areas for improvement. I learned how to structure my responses more effectively, communicate my strengths with greater confidence, and stop downplaying my experiences and accomplishments. The session also helped me recognize which technical topics and industry-specific questions I need to research further, allowing me to prepare more strategically for future interviews.”
