The Role of Currency in Institutional Portfolios

The Role of Currency in Institutional Portfolios offers a comprehensive description of currency investing and will re-evaluate the potential role of currencies in institutional portfolios. The empirical evidence suggests that institutional investors are persistently failing to achieve their goal of superior returns or "beating the market". This book focuses on currencies, an overlooked market segment, and investigates the question of how currency investing could be part of the solution of achieving the required investment returns.
