changes the posterior covariance will cause changes to the unconstrained asset allocation, but
only to the assets with views. In this case an absolute view of moderate confidence caused an
additional 140bps shift in the unconstrained weights of the asset in the view. Other assets with
views had changes in their allocation from 4 bps for an asset in an unrelated view, to 19bps and
44bps for assets coupled to Germany through a relative view.
