Non-Correlated Returns

Definition ∞ Non-correlated returns are investment gains that do not move in tandem with broader market trends or other asset classes. These returns exhibit independence from the performance of traditional financial markets. Assets generating such returns can provide diversification benefits to a portfolio. They are sought after for their potential to reduce overall investment risk.
Context ∞ In digital asset markets, investors frequently seek non-correlated returns as a strategy to mitigate volatility inherent in cryptocurrencies. News reports often analyze whether specific digital assets or DeFi strategies truly offer this independence. The search for assets with low correlation to traditional markets remains a continuous pursuit for many digital asset portfolio managers.
