Equity report
I'm translating an equity report for an asset-management company from French (France) to English (United Kingdom) and am having trouble with a phrase. Please find it below in a full sentence to give you full context:
'Sur la base de son univers d'investissement, le gérant procède trimestriellement ou en tant que de besoin, en fonction des conditions du marché, à une allocation sectorielle à partir de la volatilité de chaque secteur composite et de leurs corrélations jointes, afin d'équilibrer leurs contributions au risque global (critère financier).'
I was thinking along the lines of 'connected correlations'. Would that be the most appropriate choice?
Many thanks!

: although "mutual correlations" [between two types of investments made by the Fund] would be more accurate/correct // like "you need two to tango", a correlation is always "joint" [between two variables] a bit pointless saying it.

"Joint correlations" has precedent, and I suspect is what the French author was trying to emulate.

compiled correlations
Hello
I don't see "jointes" as simply meaning "shared". I don't think they did the correlations together as we don't have "en commun" or "partagé". I think its more to do with the correlations of each party being "compiled" so they do come together but not quite in the same way as "joint" means. I also prefer "compiled" as we are speaking of data but I think my reading needs a confirmation or two

: I would be extremely surprised if you find a single occurrence of "compiled correlations" used in a context like the one of this ST to mean "corrélations jointes" ...

Hello Daryo: Based on what you say, maybe "convergent correlations"?

the idea of corrélations jointes is that if two sectors tend to move the same way there is no "diversification of risks" if you invest in both - they will either both crash or both do well, you won't have one doing well and compensating for the other one sinking.
