Measured on daily returns rather than on prices. Two assets that both simply trend upward score near 1.0 on raw prices whether or not they move together, so returns are what answer the question people mean by correlation.
| Metric | PRLS | ACH |
|---|---|---|

| Risk-adjusted return (90d) | -0.42 | -0.15 |

| Worst 30 days (past year) | — | -41.8% |
