From the evaluation of above table, it can be identified that the highest correlation is between Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, where the values are at the levels of 0.7156. In addition, the least correlation is between ANZ Bank and Rio Tinto, where the values are at the levels of 0.1664. Further evaluation of the correlation table indicates that ANZ Bank has the highest correlation with the market, while Rio Tinto has the lowest correlation (Fang et al. 2018).

There are certain economic reasons behind the correlation between the high and low correlated organisations. The high correlation between Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton is because of their underlying industry, where both the companies fall under mining industry of Australia. Hence, the changes in values of mining industry directly affect the share price valuation of both Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. The low correlation is between ANZ Bank and Rio Tinto, as both the companies fall in different sectors. The changes in market conditions of Rio Tinto alter the share price valuation of the organisation, where increment in one will result in slow improvement of other. Therefore, using ANZ Bank and Rio Tinto for diversification could eventually help the portfolio to minimise the risk from investment.

The expected return from CAPM is different from the above calculation, as CAPM uses beta, risk free rate and market returns to analyse the level of return, which should be provided by an investment. The valuation of stocks cannot be determined, as no adequate information is presented for deriving the intrinsic value of stock to valuate it with the current share price (Bao, Diks and Li 2018).
