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
Risk Factors in International Investing
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
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

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
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 $ 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 = $ Net: $ − $ = $.011/dollar
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

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
