Abstract: This paper shows that one needs to be careful when making statements on potential links between correlation and coskewness. Specifically, we first show that, on the one hand, it is possible to observe any possible values of coskewness among symmetric random variables but zero pairwise correlations of these variables. On the other hand, it is also possible to have zero coskewness and any level of correlation. Second, we generalize this result to the case of arbitrary marginal distributions showing the absence of a general link between rank correlation and standardized rank coskewness.
