| Salim6 | Why not B pls ? |
| greenasha | B is talking about returns alone. C low correlation means attractive, potential for diversification result in higher returns. |
| GBolt93 | go look at average hedge fund returns vs. the market and you'll understand why not b |
| fabsan | These days GBolt93, there is no point to pay high fees for Hedge funds. Most of them are not even beating the market. |
| joeclark | Yea but theoretically, C is correct. |
| 923029 | B would infer that securities DONT offer higher returns. [Real Estate more profitable than early stage google?] Anyway, you can only pick one ... and C [low correlation] is definitely a correct answer. |
