6. Describe the advantages of portfolio diversification. Consider two stocks X and Y. The rate of return on X is distributed normally as x = N (10%, 9%) and the rate of return on Y distributed normally as y=N (10%, 16%). Assuming that the variance of the diversified portfolio (that has both stocks X and Y) is V = 6.26 - 6p where p is the correlation between x and y, calculate the maximum value of p beyond which portfolio diversification is not helpful. -
