4. Gupta tells the fund manager of Portfolio B:
"We need to seriously consider the potential costs associated with favorable currency rate movements, given that a 100% hedge-ratio strategy is being applied to this portfolio."
Explain Guptas statement in light of the strategic choices in currency management available to the portfolio manager.
选项: 解释: Optimal hedging decisions require balancing
the benefits of hedging against the costs of hedging. Hedging costs come mainly
in two forms: trading costs and opportunity costs. Gupta is referring to the
opportunity cost of the 100% hedge strategy. The opportunity cost of the 100%
hedge strategy for Portfolio B is the forgone opportunity of benefiting from
favorable currency rate movements. Gupta is implying that accepting some
currency risk has the potential to enhance portfolio return. A complete hedge
eliminates this possibility. 中文解析: 对冲成本包括交易成本和机会成本,本题考察的是机会成本。 对冲成本主要有两种形式:交易成本和机会成本。机会成本指的是100%对冲策略下,也放弃了的汇率朝有利方向变动时,可以获得收益的机会。
我是这样回答的是否足够?

- with favorable currency rate movements, 100% hedge-ratio can bring more opportunity cost.
- to reduce these cost, he can choose to partial hedge the portfolio. such as discretionary hedge.
