  4. Basic Portfolio Theory: • What is the efficient frontier? • It represents the most efficient combinations of all possible risky assets.

  5. The Efficient Frontier E(r) A B

  6. Basic Portfolio Theory: • The broader the diversification, the more stable the returns and the more diffuse the risk.

  7. INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFICATION • B. International Diversification • 1. Risk-return tradeoff: • may be greater

  8. Basic Portfolio Theory: • Total Risk of a Security’s Returns may be segmented into • Systematic Risk • can not be eliminated • Non-systematic Risk • can be eliminated by diversification

  9. The Benefits of Int’l Diversification

  10. INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFICATION • 2. International diversification and systematic risk • a. Diversify across nations with • different economic cycles • b. While there is systematic risk • within a nation, outside the country it may be nonsystematic and diversifiable

  11. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • 3. Recent History • a. National stock markets have wide • differences in returns and risk. • b. Emerging markets have higher • risk and return than developed • markets. • c. Cross-market correlations have • been relatively low.

  12. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • 3. Theoretical Conclusion • International diversification pushes out the efficient frontier.

  13. The New Efficient Frontier E(r) C A B

  14. CROSS-MARKET CORRELATIONS • 6. Cross-market correlations • a. Recent markets seem to be most correlated when volatility is greatest • b. Result: • Efficient frontier retreats

  15. The Frontier During Global Crises E(r) C A B

  16. Investing in Emerging Markets • D. Investing in Emerging Markets • a. Offers highest risk and returns • b. Low correlations with returns • elsewhere • c. As impediments to capital market mobility fall, correlations are likely to increase in the future.

  17. Barriers to International Diversification • E. Barriers to International Diversification • 1. Segmented markets • 2. Lack of liquidity • 3. Exchange rate controls • 4. Underdeveloped capital markets • 5. Exchange rate risk • 6. Lack of information • a. not readily accessible • b. data is not comparable

  18. Other Methods to Diversify • F. Diversify by a • 1. Trade in American Depository • Receipts (ADRs) • 2. Trade in American shares • 3. Trade internationally diversified • mutual funds: • a. Global (all types) • b. International (no home country securities) • c. Single-country

  19. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • 4. Calculation of Expected Portfolio Return: • rp = a rUS + ( 1 - a) rrw • where • rp = portfolio expected return • rUS = expected U.S. market return • rrw = expected global return

  20. Portfolio Return • Sample Problem • What is the expected return of a portfolio with 35% invested in Japan returning 10% and 65% in the U.S. returning 5%? • rp = a rUS + ( 1 - a) rrw • = .65(.05) + .35(.10) • = .0325 + .0350 • = 6.75%

  21. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • Calculation of Expected Portfolio Risk • where = the cross-market • correlation • US2 = U.S. returns variance • r w2 = World returns variance

  22. Portfolio Risk • What is the risk of a portfolio with 35% invested in Japan with a standard deviation of 6% and a standard deviation of 8% in the U.S. and a correlation coefficient of .7? • = [(.65)2 (.08) 2 + (.35) 2(.06) 2 +2(.65)(.35)(.08)(.06)(.7)] 1/2 • = 6.8%

  23. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • IV. MEASURING TOTAL RETURNS • FROM FOREIGN PORTFOLIOS • A. To compute dollar return of a foreign security: • or

  24. Flash Back! • For currency appreciation: • For currency depreciation:

  25. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • Bond (calculating return) formula: • where R$ = dollar return • B(1) = foreign currency bond price at time 1 (present) • C = coupon income during period • g = currency depreciation or appreciation

  26. INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOINVESTMENT • B. Stocks (Calculating return) • Formula: • where R$ = dollar return • P(1) = foreign currency stock price at time 1 • D = foreign currency annual • dividend

  27. U.S. $ Stock Returns:Sample Problem • Suppose the beginning stock price if FF50 and the ending price is FF48. Dividend income was FF1. The franc depreciates from FF 20 /$ to FF21.05 /$ during the year against the dollar. • What is the stock’s US$ return for the year?
