2008 financial meltdown has been a interesting case for portfolio diversification all the assets had a correlation had reverted to 1 and nearly all asset prices collapsed
However VIX has been a interesting case the addition of about 7% VIX to the portfolio increased the returns in addition it increased its sharpe ratio decreased standard deviation
I had tested this portfolio over a 25 year period ending 31 December 2007 and a report has been published CBOE for 2008 case.
