|
| B) | higher return and higher risk. |
|
| C) | lower return and higher risk. |
|
| D) | lower return and lower risk. |
|

Relative to the efficient frontier that includes only domestic investments, the efficient frontier that also includes foreign investments will plot to the:
Answer and Explanation
If return is plotted on the y-axis and risk is plotted on the x-axis, the efficient frontier that includes foreign investments will plot to the left and top of the frontier that includes only domestic investments. This means that the global frontier has lower risk and greater return than the purely domestic efficient frontier.

The efficient frontier that includes domestic and foreign investments will reflect which of the following characteristics of foreign investments:
| A) | higher return opportunities and higher correlations. |
|
| B) | lower return opportunities and lower correlations. |
|
C) | higher return opportunities and lower correlations. |
|
| D) | lower return opportunities and higher correlations. |

Which of the following most accurately represents the relationship between the global efficient frontier and a domestic efficient frontier? The global efficient frontier will contain portfolios with:
| A) | higher risk for a given return and higher return for a given risk level than portfolios on the domestic efficient frontier. |
|
| B) | lower risk for a given return and lower return for a given risk level than portfolios on the domestic efficient frontier. |
|
| C) | higher risk for a given return and lower return for a given risk level than portfolios on the domestic efficient frontier. |
|
D) | lower risk for a given return and higher return for a given risk level than portfolios on the domestic efficient frontier. |
|
Answer and Explanation
Due to the low to moderate correlations between global markets, the global efficient frontier will contain portfolios with lower risk for a given return and higher return for a given risk level than portfolios on the domestic efficient frontier.
