Correlation
Correlation is a way of describing how things move in relation to one another. For example, the more time you spend studying, the higher the likelihood of getting a good grade. Therefore, the hours spent studying may have a positive correlation to your grade. On the other hand, the longer you spend on video games instead of studying, you may get a lower grade. Therefore, the hours spent on video games may have a negative correlation to your grade.
Good portfolio managers attempt to find investments that move up and down at different times within a portfolio to reduce the overall volatility of the portfolio. This goal may reduce the volatile swings of the market, which can produce a smoother ride for investors.
