Perhaps. But here's the intriguing thing about the financial theory that Markowitz developed: it's extremely difficult to apply in practice. If you know for certain the distribution of returns for all the assets in which you are investing, you can compute an efficient frontier. But you don't. You can only guess.
这种可能性是存在的。但马科维茨提出的金融理论的耐人寻味之处在于:它极难应用于实践。如果你确定无疑地知道将要投资的所有资产的收益率分布,你就能通过计算得出有效边界。但现实中你并不知道收益率的真实分布,因此在计算中只能使用估计值。
One problem is that historical correlations are poor guides to future ones. Imagine the shares of two oil companies, for instance: as the oil price rises and falls, so would the shares, which would seem highly correlated. If one company then ran into some kind of trouble – another Deepwater Horizon, for instance – then the shares might well become negatively correlated as the unaffected company picked up market share from the affected one.
由此引申出的一个问题是,我们无法基于不同资产的历史相关系数有效预测它们在未来的相关性。考虑两家石油公司的股价走势:随着石油价格的涨跌,这两家公司的股价也将随之波动,进而表现出较强的相关性。如果其中一家公司随后遇到了某种麻烦——例如又一次"深水地平线"(Deepwater Horizon)事故——那么这家公司的股价走势很可能将变得与未受影响的公司负相关,因为后者或侵蚀事故公司的市场份额。
