19.1 Global Markets for Equities • Background • Global market • U.S. stock exchanges make up roughly 40% of all markets • Emerging market development • Market capitalization and GDP

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 • 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

Table 19.3 Rates of Change, U.S. Dollar versus World Currencies, 2002-2011
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 • International Investment Choices • Direct stock purchases • Difficult for individual investors due to currency and tax issues • Mutual funds • Open end • World versus international funds • Higher expenses • Closed end • Country or regional funds • WEBS

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
