LOS g: State the determinants of the value of a closed-end country fund.
Closed-end country funds trading in U.S. markets have been known to be affected by:
A) |
weak correlations to U.S. markets, thus providing for more diversification benefits than expected. | |
B) |
strong correlations to U.S. markets, thus providing for more diversification benefits than expected. | |
C) |
strong correlations to U.S. markets, thus providing for less diversification benefits than expected. | |
Closed-end funds’ values have been found to be strongly correlated with the U.S. stock market. Strong or higher degrees of correlations provide less diversification benefits. |
