The correlation of Fidelity Asset is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Fidelity Asset moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Fidelity Asset Manager moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.

If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation.

The danger of trading Fidelity Asset Manager is mainly related to its market volatility and Mutual Fund specific events. As an investor, you must understand the concept of risk-adjusted return before you start trading. The most common way to measure the risk of Fidelity Asset is by using the Sharpe ratio. The ratio expresses how much excess return you acquire for the extra volatility you endure for holding a more risker asset than Fidelity Asset. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. To understand how volatile Fidelity Asset Manager is, you must compare it to a benchmark.
