Evidence Suggests Index Funds are
Not for the International Investor
For the international investor the capitalization-
weighted portfolio may not be the optimal one.
The reason is market segmentation. The world
stock market is not efficient yet, the evidence
suggests, at least not in the "mean-variance
efficiency" sense that is required by the CAPM.
Because of real exchange risk (deviations from
PPP), what is the optimal portfolio for an
investor in one country may not be the optimal
portfolio for an investor in another, even if there
were a single risk-free asset acceptable to both.
Studies confirm these propositions

Obstacles to International Investment
Might Include:
Information barriers.
Political and capital control risks.
Foreign exchange risks.
Restrictions on foreign investment and
control.
Taxation.
Higher costs.
Issuer:
Looking for large amounts of floating-rate
USD and DEM funding for its loan porfolio.
Wants low-cost funds: target CP-.10
Is not too concerned about specific timing
of issue, amount or maturity
Is willing to consider hybrid structures.
Investor:
Has distinctive preference for high grade
investments
Looking for investments that will improve
portfolio returns relative to relevant indexes
Invests in both floating rate and fixed rate
sterling and dollar securities
Can buy options to hedge portfolio but
cannot sell options
Intermediary:
Has experience and technical and legal
background in structure finance
Has active swap and option trading and
positioning capabilities
Has clients looking for caps and other forms
of interest rate protection.
5 For the issuer, swap and strip the issue into the
form of funding that he requires
6 Offer a degree of liquidity to the issuer by
standing willing to buy back the securities at a
later date.
Note:
Issuer has agreed to pay an above-market rate
on both the floating rate note and the fixed rate
bond segment of the issue
FRN portion: .75 % above normal cost
Fixed portion: .50% above normal cost
Issuer has in effect purchased the right to pay a
fixed rate of 8.35% on a five-year bond to be
issued in three years time.
