Q.64 A certain analyst uses the EWMA model with $\lambda = 0.9$ to carry out an update of correlation and covariance between the returns of two assets - A and B. The analyst observes that on day n - 1, the return on A is 2% and that on B is 3%, and the correlation between A and B is 0.5. In addition, the volatilities of the return on X and Y are 1% and 2%, respectively. Estimate the new coefficient of correlation. | Financial Risk Manager Part 1 Quiz - LeetQuiz

Explanation:
Using the EWMA model, we first need to find the updated covariance and updated individual variances. (Note: The mention of assets X and Y is a typo for A and B).
