INVESCO HIGH Suggested Diversification Pairs

A pair-trading setup around INVESCO HIGH shifts the return benchmark from the broad market to a second position, altering the risk profile. A disciplined pair structure still requires monitoring because correlation weakens when market regimes change.
The effect of pair diversification on risk is to reduce it, but we should note this doesn't apply to all risk types. When we trade pairs against INVESCO HIGH as a counterpart, there is always some inherent risk that will never be diversified away no matter what. This volatility limits the effect of tactical diversification using pair trading. INVESCO HIGH's systematic risk is the inherent uncertainty of the entire market, and therefore cannot be mitigated even by pair-trading it against the equity that is not highly correlated to it. On the other hand, INVESCO HIGH's unsystematic risk describes the types of risk that we can protect against, at least to some degree, by selecting a matching pair that is not perfectly correlated to Invesco High Yield.
