Overview: A number of studies have identified patterns of positive correlation of returns, or co-movement, among different traded securities. We distinguish three views of such co-movement. The traditional fundamentals view explains the co-movement of securities through positive correlations in the rational determinants of their values, such as cash flows or discount rates. Category-based co-movement occurs when investors classify different securities into the same asset class and shift resources in and out of this class in correlated ways.
