The ability to find closely correlated positions to Simulations Plus could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Simulations Plus 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 Simulations Plus - 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 Simulations Plus to buy it.
The correlation of Simulations Plus 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 Simulations Plus moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Simulations Plus 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.
Correlation analysis and pair trading evaluation for Simulations Plus can also be used as hedging techniques within a particular sector or industry or even over random equities to generate a better risk-adjusted return on your portfolios.
