Building a Diversification Quality Framework, Considering Dual-Dimension of Return and Volatility in Portfolio Construction
This paper proposes a new framework for analyzing portfolio diversification in finance. Instead of relying solely on return correlations, the author introduces metrics that measure the correlation of asset volatilities (VDI, VSR, VDR). The goal is to better distinguish systematic risk from diversifiable risk and to improve portfolio resilience, especially during market stress. A series of backtests on 500 U.S. stocks (2012–2025) shows that strategies optimizing these new ratios achieve higher Sharpe ratios and lower maximum drawdowns than traditional approaches.
