Book excerpt: In this paper we examine risk-return trade-off of investing in Latin American emerging stock markets. In particular, the study seeks to examine whether equities from Latin American emerging markets might have offered the Canadian investor high returns for a relatively low level of risk when combined into a portfolio of Canadian shares. Optimal portfolios were derived based on historic (ex-post) observations and evaluated utilizing the mean return per unit of risk (MRPUR) performance measure. In particular, the performance of the MRPUR-optimal emerging market portfolio was compared with the MRPUR of a portfolio consisting solely of Canadian shares to determine whether any benefits resulted from diversifying into the emerging stock markets over the ten-year periods. The results revealed substantial differences in the risk-return characteristics of the MRPUR-optimal portfolios.

Book Synopsis Emerging Latin American Stock Markets - An Empirical Analysis of Market Efficiency, Diversification Benefits and Risk by : Pascal Rakers
Download or read book Emerging Latin American Stock Markets - An Empirical Analysis of Market Efficiency, Diversification Benefits and Risk written by Pascal Rakers and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides an overview for investors interested in the Latin American equity markets. In the beginning, recent trends and economic developments in the emerging markets are reviewed. After that, the diversification benefits of expanding the investment horizon by including Latin American stocks are evaluated. The Colombian and Peruvian market provided investors with high returns in the past and the Chilean stocks showed low risk. Therefore, the inclusion of these markets might prove to be beneficial. Market efficiency is inspected via variance ratio tests and technical trading strategies. Many markets are found to be inefficient. That is why investors need to check whether crucial information is currently reflected in the market price. At the same time, they can potentially generate excess returns by employing technical trading rules. Lastly, tail risk measures are depicted, risk premia are compared between the markets, and the influence of exchange rates on stock returns is explored. This allows investors to be aware of the potential consequences of extreme events, compare return rewards for risk between the markets, and the impact of exchange rates.

Book Synopsis International Capital Flows by : Martin Feldstein
Download or read book International Capital Flows written by Martin Feldstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent changes in technology, along with the opening up of many regions previously closed to investment, have led to explosive growth in the international movement of capital. Flows from foreign direct investment and debt and equity financing can bring countries substantial gains by augmenting local savings and by improving technology and incentives. Investing companies acquire market access, lower cost inputs, and opportunities for profitable introductions of production methods in the countries where they invest. But, as was underscored recently by the economic and financial crises in several Asian countries, capital flows can also bring risks. Although there is no simple explanation of the currency crisis in Asia, it is clear that fixed exchange rates and chronic deficits increased the likelihood of a breakdown. Similarly, during the 1970s, the United States and other industrial countries loaned OPEC surpluses to borrowers in Latin America. But when the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates to control soaring inflation, the result was a widespread debt moratorium in Latin America as many countries throughout the region struggled to pay the high interest on their foreign loans. International Capital Flows contains recent work by eminent scholars and practitioners on the experience of capital flows to Latin America, Asia, and eastern Europe. These papers discuss the role of banks, equity markets, and foreign direct investment in international capital flows, and the risks that investors and others face with these transactions. By focusing on capital flows' productivity and determinants, and the policy issues they raise, this collection is a valuable resource for economists, policymakers, and financial market participants.
Book Synopsis The Risk-Return Tradeoff in Emerging Markets by : Enrique Salvador
Download or read book The Risk-Return Tradeoff in Emerging Markets written by Enrique Salvador and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the risk-return tradeoff in some of the main emerging stock markets in the world. Although previous studies on emerging markets were not able to show a positive and significant tradeoff, favorable evidence can be obtained if a non-linear framework between return and risk is considered. However, this relationship between return and risk is essentially observed in periods of financial stability but not in times of market jitters. Using 15 years of weekly data observations in a Regime Switching-GARCH framework, I show favorable evidence in most of the emerging markets during low volatility periods, but not for periods of financial turmoil or using the traditional linear GARCH-M approach.
Book Synopsis The Determinants of Stock Market Performance in Emerging Economies by : Dinara Apiyeva
Download or read book The Determinants of Stock Market Performance in Emerging Economies written by Dinara Apiyeva and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A phenomenal growth of emerging markets has not only attracted an enormous interest from international instinational and individual investors, but it has also proved that these markets cannot be treated in the same way as developed markets. This research is intended to identify the main determinants of the stock market performance in emerging economies of Latin America and Asia Pacific. The study has been motivated by the increasing importance of these equity markets on the international financial arena. The capital markets of emerging economies have not only become an important asset class for international investors, but also they have become a new and increasingly important source of foreign capital for these countries. This research examines a set of macroeconomic variables, including inflation, foreign exchange rates, market integration, the Institutional Investor's country ratings, the U.S interest rates and financial risk premiums, and their role in explaining the fluctuations in the total returns on the stock markets in six Latin American and four Asia Pacific countries. The results show that the Institutional Investor's country ratings and financial risk premium are the best determinants of the stock market performance in Latin American and Asian Pacific countries. The attempt to separate the financial and country risks has also been undertaken with the successful results in four out of ten countries. The further findings show that financial risk premiums are an important risk factor, which explains the stock market returns in seven out of ten countries and, moreover, financial risk premiums appear to be an aggregate risk factor, which can successfiilly replace five macroeconomic variables, and above that they contain incremental information, which successfully explain the variance in the stock market retums. The findings may have significant implications for international investors and national policymakers in the emerging markets. The findings highlight the significance of the country default risk in explaining the stock market performance in the Latin American and Asia Pacific economies.

Book Synopsis Predictable Risk and Returns in Emerging Markets by : Campbell R. Harvey
Download or read book Predictable Risk and Returns in Emerging Markets written by Campbell R. Harvey and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of new equity markets in Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Mideast and Africa provides a new menu of opportunities for investors. These markets exhibit high expected returns as well as high volatility. Importantly, the low correlations with developed countries' equity markets significantly reduce the unconditional portfolio risk of a world investor. However, standard global asset pricing models, which assume complete integration of capital markets, fail to explain the cross-section of average returns in emerging countries. An analysis of the predictability of the returns reveals that emerging market returns are more likely than developed countries to be influenced by local information.This is the final working paper version of my 1995 publication in the Review of Financial Studies.

Download or read book Structured Finance in Latin America written by Hela Cheikhrouhou and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structured Finance in Latin America explores how structured finance mechanisms can channel pension savings to support projects in underserved sectors, deepen capital markets, and contribute to investment and economic growth. Private pension funds have been accumulating assets rapidly in the wake of pension system reforms in many Latin American countries. Strict investment regulations to protect workers' savings have limited their investment in highly creditworthy domestic securities, yet pension fund demand for new securities has outstripped issuance of eligible traditional corporate debt instruments. This has contributed to a high concentration of pension fund assets in public debt. Innovative structured finance mechanisms can help bring to the market a new set of creditworthy securities backed by pools of loans to small borrowers, mortgage loans or the expected proceeds of large infrastructure projects. These mechanisms create new investment opportunities for pension funds, while establishing additional sources of funding for underserved market segments. Policy makers and regulatory authorities have a catalytic role to play in the development of structured finance securities by establishing a conducive legal, regulatory, and tax framework. Structured Finance in Latin America serves as a practical guide for development practitioners, policy makers, and others working in government, international or nongovernmental organizations, and financial institutions, who focus on finance and investment; infrastructure, transport, and urban development; housing finance; small and medium-sized enterprise development; and pension reform.

Download or read book The Internationalization of Equity Markets written by Jeffrey A. Frankel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume addresses three important recent trends in the internationalization of United States equity markets: extensive market integration through foreign investment and links among stock prices around the world; increasing securitization as countries such as Japan come to rely more than ever before on markets in equities and bonds at the expense of banks; and the opening of national financial systems of newly industrializing countries to international financial flows and institutions, as governments remove capital controls and other barriers. Eight essays examine such issues as the current extent of international market integration, gains to U.S. investors through international diversification, home-country bias in investing, the role of time and location around the world in stock trading, and the behavior of country funds. Other, long-standing questions about equity markets are also addressed, including market efficiency and the accuracy of models of expected returns, with a particular focus on variances, covariances, and the price of risk according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
