19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing Risks in Foreign Security Investment Exchange rate risk Uncertainty in asset returns due to movements in exchange rates between U.S. dollar and foreign currency Country-specific risk Political risk: Possibility of expropriation of assets, changes in tax policy, restrictions on exchange of foreign currency for domestic, etc. Imperfect exchange rate risk hedging Hard to hedge equities with variable rates of return

19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing  

19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing Dollar Depreciation Relative to Pound If you invest in a British security and earn 10%, find the return in U.S. dollars given Initial exchange rate: £ = $2 Final exchange rate: £ = $2.10

19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing Dollar Appreciation Relative to Pound If you invest in a British security and earn 10%, find the return in U.S. dollars given Initial exchange rate: £ = $2 Final exchange rate: £ = $1.85

Average annual returns from rolling over one-month LIBOR rates (%) Return in Expected Actual Surprise Local Gain from Actual Return Component SD of Annual Country Currency in U.S. dollars of Return Return U.S. $ 2.18 Euro € 2.38 -0.20 4.38 6.77 4.58 U.K. £ 3.51 -1.32 1.09 4.60 2.41 SF 0.90 1.28 6.46 7.36 5.17 Japan ¥ 0.24 1.94 5.75 5.99 3.81 Australia A$ 5.25 -3.07 7.94 13.19 11.01 Canada C$ 2.50 -0.31 5.01 7.51 5.32

19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing Carry Trade Suppose yen LIBOR = .24%, USD LIBOR = 3.75% An astute investor may borrow yen at the yen rate, convert the borrowed funds to dollars, and invest at dollar LIBOR What can go wrong with this strategy? Default Yen increases in value by  3.75% − .24% = 3.51% or more

19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing Covered Interest Arbitrage U.S. interest rates 6.15%, British rates 10%, exchange rate $2/£; 1-year forward exchange rate for pound is $1.95/£ How can you earn a riskless arbitrage profit based on these quotes? Borrow $1 at 6.15%: will owe $1.0615 in 1 year Convert $1 to pounds: $1/($2/£) = £.50 Invest £.50 at 10%: Will yield £.50 x 1.10 = £.55 Sell pound forward at $1.95: £55 x $1.95 = $1.0725 Net: $1.0725 − $1.0615 = $.011/dollar

19.2 Risk Factors in International Investing Covered Interest Parity The spot-futures exchange rate relationship that prevents arbitrage opportunities If the interest rates and exchange rates are in this relationship, no arbitrage is possible

19.3 International Investing: Risk, Return, and Benefits from Diversification Conclusions Passive investment in all countries would not have lowered risk during recent crisis Hedging currencies has little effect; U.S. stock market crash appears to be systemic factor that cannot be diversified away from in crisis Correlations are increasing due to globalization; nevertheless, we still expect modest international diversification benefits in normal markets

19.3 International Investing: Risk, Return, and Benefits from Diversification Active Management First level Security selection and asset allocation within each market to identify country portfolio superior to country index Second level Optimize allocations across country portfolios to maximize diversification

19.5 International Investing and Performance Attribution The “Bogey” or Benchmark EAFE index (non-U.S. stocks) Currency Selection Contribution to performance due to currency movements Country Selection Contribution to performance due to choosing better-performing countries

19.5 International Investing and Performance Attribution Stock Selection Measured as weighted average of equity returns in excess of equity index in each country Cash/Bond Selection Excess return due to weighting bonds and bills differently from benchmark weights
