PACE STRATEGIC Suggested Diversification Pairs
Using PACE STRATEGIC in a pair-trading setup can improve risk control because gains and losses are judged against a second position instead of against the market alone. The advantage is that adverse movement in one leg may be partly offset by the other when correlation and thesis alignment hold.
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 PACE STRATEGIC 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. PACE STRATEGIC'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, PACE STRATEGIC'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 Pace Strategic Fixed.
