so other than xuzen using correlation coefficients via own calculations, is there any other way to find correlations between funds online? i tried morning star but only standard deviation and pretty much blur about it though.

How to Save for a Rainy Day

Gud short article to remind us on keeping a little bit for emergency

good stuff yo

My caveat is don't be fooled by the title... you have to read carefully and between the line.

My take are as follows:

I) The author said corr-coeff does not guarantee alpha aka excess market return. Which he is right. The exercise for this is to diversify aka reduce Unsystematic risk / volatility / standard-deviation.

II) If you are thinking that by doing this corr-coeff thingy will bring you extra-ordinary return, then you will be disappointed. It will only protect your portfolio from massive swing from the expected return aka mean return.

III) The title of the article is a bit off with what the authors intended message.

Xuzen

p/s I bought the Author's book "All about Asset Allocation" a few years ago and I think it is a wonderful book. My caveat is that the book is written very much in the American context. So we have to be selective on what advise to import into our local scene.
