TY - JOUR TI - ¿Existen ganancias por la cobertura de riesgo cambiario en un portafolio de acciones global, desde la perspectiva de un inversionista colombiano? JO - ESTUDIOS GERENCIALES;Vol. 27 No. 120 - Julio/Septiembre 2011 PB - Universidad Icesi PY - 2011 issn 01235923 AB - This study looks for gains in terms of efficiency for local investors with an internationally diversified portfolio by hedging the exchange risk. 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.
