Which one of the following correlation relationships has the lowest risk reduction potential?
A. perfectly positive
B. positive
C. negative
D. perfectly negative
E. uncorrelated
Answer - D. perfectly negative
In a portfolio, when the securities within the portfolio have lowest correlation, risk in the portfolio would be minimal.
A correlation coefficient can be between +1 to -1. '-1' is the lowest correlation positive which implies a perfect negative correlation.

Correlation, risk, and return Matt Peters wishes to evaluate the risk and return behaviors associated with various combinations of assets V and W under three assumed degrees of correlation: perfectly positive, uncorrelated, and perfectly negative. The expected return and risk values calculated for each of the assets are shown in the following table, B a. If the returns of assets V and W are perfectly positively correlated correlation coefficient = +1), describe the range of (1) expected return and (2)...
