问题如下:
Which of the following descriptions of correlation is least accurate?
选项:
A. If correlation coefficient is less than 1, diversification can reduce risk
B. A zero variance portfolio can be constructed when the correlation coefficient is zero.
C. The potential benefit of diversification is increased with the decrease of correlation coefficient.
解释:
B is correct.
A zero variance portfolio can only be constructed when the correlation coefficient is -1.
我这么理解b,相关系数为0,可以看成无风险资产和风险资产的组合,但是无法让portfolio的风险是0。这样理解对吗?
