Risk aversion
Ref
Investors can construct a diversified portfolio and eliminate part of the total risk, thediversifiable or non market, part. (page 216)Question No: 14 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose oneIf correlation coefficient (rmn) between two securities is -1.0, what does it represents? There is a positive relationship between security m and n There is a negative relationship between security m and n There is no relationship between security m and n The given data is not sufficient to arrive at any result
Ref
What if the correlation of A&B = -1 ? This is an unusual case, because it meansthat when A moves up, B always moves down. Take a mixture of .665 A and (1-.665)
B. sqrt(.6652*.152+(1-.665)2.32+2*0*(.665)*(1-.665)*.15*.3) = .075%, Which is veryclose to zero. In other words, A is nearly a perfect hedge for B. One of the few real-life
negative correlations you will find is a short position in a stock offsetting the longposition. In this case, since the mean returns are also the same, the expected return
will be zero. These extremes of correlation values allow us to describe an envelopewithin which all combinations of two assets will lie, regardless of their correlations.
