Goldman Sachs Suggested Diversification Pairs

Pair analysis provides a framework for evaluating relative performance between Goldman Sachs Access and comparable securities. Pair trading is less about prediction in isolation and more about identifying relative mispricing between related positions.
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 Goldman Sachs 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. Goldman Sachs' 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, Goldman Sachs' 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 Goldman Sachs Access.
