Correlation matrix:
Which of your holdings move together

A correlation matrix shows how closely each pair of holdings has moved together, which tells you how much they really diversify each other.

PortfolioPilot draws the matrix for your 20 largest holdings on the Analysis & comparison page on desktop. Holdings that move alike add risk without adding much protection. Included in the Free plan.

How to use it

What does the correlation matrix tell you?

Diversification is about how holdings move, not how many you own.

Pairs near 1.0

Holdings that move almost alike; owning both adds little diversification.

Pairs below zero

Holdings that tend to move apart, which can soften a fall.

The matrix covers your 20 largest holdings by weight.
