I. Efficient valuation
II. Allowing for stochastic volatility
III. Accommodating discontinuous asset prices
IV. Allowing for complex payoffs

Which of the following statements is true:
I. The standard deviation of a short position is the same as the standard deviation of a long position II. The expected return of a short position is the same as that a long position in the same asset III. If two assets are perfectly positively correlated, then a short position in one and a long position in the other are negatively correlated IV. If we increase the weight of an asset in a portfolio, its correlation with other assets in the portfolio scales up proportionately
