Stock correlation analysis is also essential because it can help investors realize that they may not be as diversified as they think. Risk management strategies are usually required to make sure all portfolios are properly aligned against their risk tolerance level. You can consider holding Franklin Resources together with similar or unrelated positions with a negative correlation. For example, you can also add Procter Gamble to your portfolio.
