You are given a pandas DataFrame containing monthly returns for three assets and a portfolio. Your task is to:

  • Calculate cumulative returns for each asset and the portfolio, starting at 1.0 and using the cumulative product of (1 + monthly return) for each series.
  • Plot all four cumulative return series on a single chart using matplotlib.
  • Add clear labels for each line, include a legend, and add an informative chart title.
  • Visually highlight (e.g., with shading or annotation) any period where the portfolio's cumulative return is higher than all three individual assets.
  • Display the plot.

Use only the provided libraries and do not modify the DataFrame structure or values.
