Abstract: This paper studies the time-variant interactions among US stocks, emerging market bonds and US low-grade corporate bonds. All of these assets are characterized by a similar average return, but returns are far from being perfectly correlated. Therefore, investing in these different assets provides substantial diversification benefits. What is more, most correlations among assets do not increase, rather decrease, during financial crisis.
