Description

The Role of Currency in Institutional Portfolios offers a comprehensive description of currency investing and will re-evaluate the potential role of currencies in institutional portfolios. The empirical evidence suggests that institutional investors are persistently failing to achieve their goal of superior returns or "beating the market". This book focuses on currencies, an overlooked market segment, and investigates the question of how currency investing could be part of the solution of achieving the required investment returns. Chapters include: Alternative Currency Hedging Strategies with Known Covariances: Wei Chen (State Street Associates), Mark Kritzman (Windham Capital Management) and David Turkington (State Street Associates) The Carry Trade - Theory, Strategy and Risk Management: Mike Rosenberg (Bloomberg) The Currency Investing Process: Managing G10 Currencies: Ulf J. Lindahl (A.G. Bisset Associates, LLC) Currency Management Styles: Ten Years Later: James Binny (Lloyds Commercial Bank) The Future of Currency Investing in Institutional Portfolios: Michael Melvin (BlackRock)
