Isn't a decrease in covariance and correlation an improvement?

作者: LPoulin133 时间: 2011-7-13 13:21 标题: International Securities

Can any one explain this

One of the benefits of international investing is

"improved covariance relations across the portfolio exposures, resulting in greater diversification benefits"

- Why would improve the covariance. if it is anything it will decrease the covariance right? Am I getting confused with correlations?

Thanks a lot

Got it. Got confused with improvement to increase.
