First Trust Correlations

The correlation of First Trust 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 First Trust moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if First Trust 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.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to First Trust could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace First Trust 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 First Trust - 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 First Trust to buy it.

Already Invested in First Trust?

The danger of trading First Trust is mainly related to its market volatility and ETF specific events. As an investor, you must understand the concept of risk-adjusted return before you start trading. The most common way to measure the risk of First Trust is by using the Sharpe ratio. The ratio expresses how much excess return you acquire for the extra volatility you endure for holding a more risker asset than First Trust. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. To understand how volatile First Trust is, you must compare it to a benchmark. Traditionally, the risk-free rate of return is the rate of return on the shortest-dated U.S. Treasury, such as a 3-year bond.
