The current 90-days correlation between Merck and Abbott Laboratories is 0.24 (i.e., Modest diversification). A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Merck moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Merck Co moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction.

Merck Correlation With Market

Poor diversification

The correlation between Merck Co and DJI is 0.75 (i.e., Poor diversification) for selected investment horizon. Overlapping area represents the amount of risk that can be diversified away by holding Merck Co and DJI in the same portfolio, assuming nothing else is changed.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Merck could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Merck when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Merck - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Merck Co to buy it.
