To estimate an optimum portfolio with a minimum variance we used a robust methodology which allowed us to make statistical inference and prove that international diversification reduces portfolio risk for local investors. This methodology is applied to stock portfolios held by a Colombian and a Mexican investor, and the conclusion is that hedging exchange rate risk can reduce the risk of the portfolio, with the possible exception of a high negative correlation between the exchange rate and the local stock index. %K DIVERSIFICACIÓN INTERNACIONAL %K POLÍTICA CAMBIARIA %K REDISTRIBUCIÓN DE LA RENTA %K INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFICATION %K VARIABLE INCOME %K VOLATILITY %K EXCHANGE RATE RISK HEDGING %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
