1 MS&E 247s International Investments Handout # 1 Page 1 of 6 STANFORD UNIVERSITY TTh 3:15-4:30 pm (Live broadcast on SITN channel E2) Yee-Tien (Ted) Fu Gates B01 Summer 2009 (3 units) COURSE OBJECTIVE This course examines important issues in the rapidly evolving area of international financial markets and strategies, and global investments. It focuses on various aspects of international portfolio management in an open-economy macroeconomic setting, and is a natural extension to the theories and practical issues explored in Investments and/or Finance. To be specific, the course addresses to the following needs of a modern investor in a global environment: grappling with such concerns as how to value global companies as well as when and how (1) monetary and fiscal policies affect exchange rates; (2) foreign exchange risk affects companies and investment portfolios; (3) global correlations collapse; (4) foreign exchange risk should be hedged; and (5) multi-period performance attribution distinguishes skill from luck. We will also use real-life examples from market practices to emphasize the engineering dimensions of financial contract design (financial engineering), that market practitioners professionalize by blending theory with practice. Real financial contract examples will be discussed along with the relevant sections of the Levich and Solnik texts during the progress of this course. Recent practices and incidences on international financial innovation and challenges (e.g., sub-prime mortgage loans and collateralized debt obligations) will be studied in depth with financial constructs detailed in Fabozzi s Bond Markets, Strategies, and Analysis. This course is aimed at students wishing to acquire a sound understanding of the main opportunities in international investments. For example, the relevance of hedging in the management of currency risk will be studied in light of theoretical results and empirical evidence. Foreign direct investment (FDI) will also be introduced, since in general, the revenue streams generated from FDI by U.S. firms is about three times as large as the revenue generated from the exporting of U.S. goods by U.S. firms. Due to the ever increasing importance of international corporate governance, there is a corresponding need to decipher and use information in financial reports. At least one class meeting and one case study will touch on some key issues in international financial reporting and analysis, such as financial disclosure/transparency, incentives for off-balance sheet liabilities, hedge accounting, lease accounting, footnote disclosures, and inter-corporate equity investments, and international financial reporting differences. OVERVIEW In this course, we explore the characteristics of international financial markets and strategies, and global investments; and examine some international aspects of corporate financial management. In the sections dealing with international financial markets and strategies, we address a standard set of questions including: What are the essential institutional and organizational features of the market place? What are the fundamental determinants of prices and price relationships in the market? Are market prices set efficiently in relation to a theoretical model, or are there evidences of market inefficiencies or shortcomings in the theoretical models?
2 MS&E 247s International Investments Handout # 1 Page 2 of 6 What are the major policy decisions faced by private individuals and institutions, as well as public policymakers and regulatory agencies, in each market? What are collateralized mortgage obligations? What are collateralized debt obligations? What are active bond portfolio management strategies? What are liabilities funding strategies? In the sections dealing with global investments, we address the questions including: When and how monetary and fiscal policies affect exchange rates? When and how foreign exchange risk affects companies and investment portfolios? When and how global correlations collapse and derivative pricing kernels fail? When and how foreign exchange risk should be hedged? In the topics that relate primarily to corporate financial management, our emphasis is on how a financial manager should use his/her knowledge of international financial markets to address questions such as: How can we measure the firm's exposure to financial and operational risks? How can we manage the firm's exposure to financial and operational risks? How can we evaluate international projects and exploit differences in the cost of capital?
