Correlation definition

Published by a LexisNexis Pensions expert

What does Correlation mean?

The extent to which two assets' values rise and fall together.

One of the objects of diversification of investments is to try and avoid correlation, so that if bonds were to fall as an asset class, equities could be predicted to rise. This does not always work, so that even wider diversification is now sought. Covariance is a similar idea.

In a share purchase or asset purchase transaction involving split exchange and completion, what are the implications of the seller giving the warranties at exchange only or of repeating the warranties up to completion?

In a share purchase or asset purchase transaction involving split exchange and completion, what are the implications of the seller giving the warranties at exchange only or of repeating the warranties up to completion? Warranties in a share purchase agreement (SPA) or asset purchase agreement (APA) are given at the date that the SPA or APA is finalised and executed. Therefore, in a share purchase or asset purchase transaction involving a gap between exchange and completion, risk of breach of warranty passes to the buyer at exchange (although the buyer does not take operational control of the target until completion).
