An equally weighted portfolio of Asset 1 and Asset 2 has the highest level of volatility of the three pairs. All three pairs have the same expected return; however, the portfolio of Asset 1 and Asset 2 provides the least amount of risk reduction.
这题已经算出了相关系数0.5,-0.5,-1。但是在比较的时候,以往认知是说绝对值越大,相关性越大,相关系数等于0,相关性最小。不太理解为什么这题不看绝对值呢。
