What does your analysis tell you about portfolio risk when combining risk assets in a portfolio? (Select the best choice below) O O A. You can maintain the same return in a portfolio but lower risk if the stocks are positively correlated rather than negatively correlated. Regardless of correlation, risk can also be lowered by investing a higher proportion of the portfolio in stock with higher standard deviation, this however will increase return B . You can maintain the same return in a portfolio but lower risk more if the stocks are negatively correlated rather than positively correlated. If correlation of two stocks is the same, nisk can also be lowered by Investing a higher proportion of the portfolio in stock with lower standard deviation, this however wil effect return C .
