  50. Image page Explaining the Persistence of Positive Excess Returns on Carry-Trade Strategies • High-yield currencies are more sensitive to changes in market volatility and asset-price trends. (High-yield currencies behave similar to high-beta stocks.) Because they entail greater systematic risk, they command higher expected returns. • High-yield currencies are subject to periodic crash risk. Excess returns represent the compensation for taking on that crash risk.
