Theme of This Lecture • Since the early 1970’s, the globalization of financial markets has been a dominant theme in international finance. • This globalization has resulted in: • Expanded opportunities and expanded risks for participants in global financial markets. • Spillover effects from one country (or region) to another. • Reduction in the historical dominance of U.S. financial markets; this is illustrated in the following 2002 to 2010 data for the United States: • Share of world’s capital market from 34% to 26%. • Share of the world’s stock market from 49% to 31%. • Share of the world’s bond market from 44% to 34%. • Share of the world’s banking market from 15% to 14%. • Growing importance of emerging country financial markets • 11% of world’s capital markets in 2002 to 21 % in 2010
Financial Market Globalization • Financial market globalization refers to the integration of national financial markets. • This process can be represented by: • (1) various financial institutions including banks and institutional investors expanding their activities geographically, thus acting as intermediaries to channel funds from lenders to borrowers across national borders and • (2) securities markets becoming more cross-border orientated. • Bottom line: Financial market globalization has greatly expanded the range of borrowing, lending and investing possibilities available to economic agents (companies, governments, individuals) throughout the world.
Brief History of Financial Market Globalization • Some researchers argue that the integration of financial markets, when measured by cross-border capital flows across national borders, is not a new phenomenon. • For example, in the 50 years prior to WWI (1914), the world saw massive capital flows from Western Europe to overseas regions of recent settlements (mainly the Americas). • During this time, private capital moved cross border with essentially no restrictions, much of it going into bonds financing railroads and other infrastructure investment and long term government debt.
Financial Market Globalization: From the 1970’s to the Present • The second wave of financial market globalization can probably be traced to the demise of the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s. • This move towards floating exchange rates (with less government intervention) ushered in an era of progressive dismantling of controls on cross-border financial flows as well as the liberalization of national financial markets more generally. • In addition, technological advances played a key role. • Information systems are now able to compute and store more data more rapidly. Telecommunications networks have made it possible to connect in more efficient ways. • As a result, cross-border financial deals have become both easier and more secure, effectively lowering the barrier constituted by distance.
Examples of Major Deregulations of Financial Markets: U.K. and Japan • U.K. 1979: Margaret Thatcher removed all exchange controls on the pound. • U.K. 1986: “Big Bang, “ London stock exchange: Removal of barriers to foreign brokers on the exchange. • Japan 1984: Yen-Dollar Agreement: • Opened up access of Japan’s financial markets to foreign firms. • Removal of controls regarding conversion of yen in FX markets. • Permitted yen offshore transactions.
Implications of Financial Market Globalization • The globalization of financial markets has resulted individual markets become more integrated and more open to non-resident borrowers and investors. • As a result, opportunities for obtaining capital and investing capital have widened. • Today it is commonplace for a corporation to consider raising capital in foreign countries and denominating in any one of a number of currencies. • Today it is also commonplace for an investor to consider investing in foreign countries and doing so in any one of a number of currencies. • Globalization has also resulted in an expanded set of risks for participants
Global Financial Markets: 2010 • By year end 2010, global financial markets were estimated at $250.0 trillion dollars. The break down was as follows: • Stock Market Capitalization: $55.1 trillion (47.2) • Debt Securities: $94.8 trillion (92.1) • Of which: Public (Government) Debt $41.4 trillion • Of which: Private Debt $53.5 trillion • Bank Assets: $100.1 trillion (103.8) • Note: Year end 2009, global financial markets were estimated at $242.3trillion (data in parenthesis are 2009). In 2010, global financial markets were 4 times the size of world GDP. • Source: IMF, Global Financial Stability Report, September 2011 • http://www.imf.org/External/Pubs/FT/GFSR/2010/02/index.htm

Impact of Globalization on Portfolios • Advantages: • Allows investors to construct portfolios across countries, sectors and currencies. • Perhaps generate greater returns. • Offers opportunities to reduce the systematic risk associated with a purely domestic portfolio. • Systemic risk: The risk inherent to an entire domestic market; for example the risk associated with a recession which will affect the entire market and, thus, cannot be avoided through diversification. The assumption is that investing in foreign equities can lower the amount of systematic risk in a portfolio because foreign investments are less likely to be affected by domestic market changes. • Issues (Disadvantages): • Expanded risk elements: • Country risk, political risk, and currency (foreign exchange) risk. • Spillover effects to purely domestic portfolios.

Home Bias in Equity Portfolios • Even thought data suggests that an internationally diversified portfolio can reduce systematic risk (and increase returns with lower risk), additional research notes that investors from all over the world tend to be biased toward investing in their domestic companies. • 2004 and 2005 studies showed that US investors held 92.2% of their equity portfolio in domestic stocks; Japanese investors, 95.7%; UK investors, 92%; German investors, 79%; French investors, 89.4%, and Canadian investors, 93.4%. • This bias is believed to have arisen as a result of the extra difficulties associated with investing in foreign equities, such as information costs, legal restrictions and additional transaction costs. Additionally a behavioral explanation has been suggested as a reason for this bias. • A 2003 survey of survey data of fund managers from the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Japan showed significant relative optimism towards their home equity market and thus suggesting why investment portfolios are significantly biased towards domestic equities.
