This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital markets, both for debt and equity securities, have allowed firms to secure funding for productive uses while providing investors with opportunities for portfolio diversification. The importance of capital markets for the development of economies and for the betterment of society cannot be overstated. This is just as true in emerging economies with free markets, such as those found in Latin America, as it is in developed markets. However, capital markets in the region are not being utilized to the fullest. The idea behind this collection of articles is to offer a primer on the development of local capital markets in several select countries in Latin America. We discuss not only their history and current status but also their future. To this end, seven authors contributed to this project, each writing about one of seven countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. Each author decided which issues they believe matter most to the progress of their local capital markets. Some authors chose a qualitative and institutional description of local markets, whereas others adopted a more quantitative approach.
Download or read book Emerging Capital Markets and Globalization written by Augusto de la Torre and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006-10-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the early 1990s, economists and policy makers had high expectations about the prospects for domestic capital market development in emerging economies, particularly in Latin America. Unfortunately, they are now faced with disheartening results. Stock and bond markets remain illiquid and segmented. Debt is concentrated at the short end of the maturity spectrum and denominated in foreign currency, exposing countries to maturity and currency risk. Capital markets in Latin America look particularly underdeveloped when considering the many efforts undertaken to improve the macroeconomic environment and to reform the institutions believed to foster capital market development. The disappointing performance has made conventional policy recommendations questionable, at best. 'Emerging Capital Markets and Globalization' analyzes where we stand and where we are heading on capital market development. First, it takes stock of the state and evolution of Latin American capital markets and related reforms over time and relative to other countries. Second, it analyzes the factors related to the development of capital markets, with particular interest on measuring the impact of reforms. And third, in light of this analysis, it discusses the prospects for capital market development in Latin America and emerging economies and the implications for the reform agenda.

Download or read book The Risk Return Trade Off of Investing in Latin American Emerging Stock Markets written by Rishma Vedd and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we examine risk-return trade-off of investing in Latin American emerging stock markets. In particular, the study seeks to examine whether equities from Latin American emerging markets might have offered the Canadian investor high returns for a relatively low level of risk when combined into a portfolio of Canadian shares. Optimal portfolios were derived based on historic (ex-post) observations and evaluated utilizing the mean return per unit of risk (MRPUR) performance measure. In particular, the performance of the MRPUR-optimal emerging market portfolio was compared with the MRPUR of a portfolio consisting solely of Canadian shares to determine whether any benefits resulted from diversifying into the emerging stock markets over the ten-year periods. The results revealed substantial differences in the risk-return characteristics of the MRPUR-optimal portfolios.
Download or read book Emerging Latin American Stock Markets An Empirical Analysis of Market Efficiency Diversification Benefits and Risk written by Pascal Rakers and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides an overview for investors interested in the Latin American equity markets. In the beginning, recent trends and economic developments in the emerging markets are reviewed. After that, the diversification benefits of expanding the investment horizon by including Latin American stocks are evaluated. The Colombian and Peruvian market provided investors with high returns in the past and the Chilean stocks showed low risk. Therefore, the inclusion of these markets might prove to be beneficial. Market efficiency is inspected via variance ratio tests and technical trading strategies. Many markets are found to be inefficient. That is why investors need to check whether crucial information is currently reflected in the market price. At the same time, they can potentially generate excess returns by employing technical trading rules. Lastly, tail risk measures are depicted, risk premia are compared between the markets, and the influence of exchange rates on stock returns is explored. This allows investors to be aware of the potential consequences of extreme events, compare return rewards for risk between the markets, and the impact of exchange rates.

This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timing is ripe to pursue greater regional financial integration in Latin America given the withdrawal of some global banks from the region and the weakening of growth prospects. Important initiatives are ongoing to foster financial integration. Failure to capitalize on this would represent a significant missed opportunity. This paper examines the scope for further global and regional financial integration in Latin America, based on economic fundamentals and comparisons to other emerging regions, and quantifies the potential macroeconomic gains that such integration could bring. The analysis suggests that closing the financial integration gap could boost GDP growth be 1⁄4 - 3⁄4 percentage point in these countries, on average.
Download or read book Integration Analysis of Latin American Stock Markets 1993 2007 written by Brian M. Lucey and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the time varying relationships between seven Latin America stock markets, the United States and a regional benchmark. Our interest is motivated by the completion of financial liberalization across major Latin America countries in the early 1990s. Starting with correlation analysis, we find relatively strong short-term co-movements between larger Latin America markets and the regional benchmark and U.S. market. We extend our analysis by applying a number of cointegration tests to examine the long-term equilibrium relations. The results are strongly in agreement that the Latin America equity markets have not become integrated either within the region or the United States, which suggests long-run diversification benefits to U.S and other international investors. Two recursive analyses are also implemented to unveil the dynamics of the regional and international integration.
