Which of the following best describes the pricing of emerging market equities? If the emerging market transitions from segmented to integrated, the countrys equities will be priced according to its:
| A) | variance risk and its expected returns will be lower. |
|
| B) | variance risk and its expected returns will be higher. |
|
| C) | covariance risk and its expected returns will be higher. |
|
D) | covariance risk and its expected returns will be lower. |
|
Answer and Explanation
When an emerging market transitions from segmented to integrated, prices will depend on covariance risk instead of the variance. This is because investors will now be able to include the countrys equities in a portfolio. In a well-diversified portfolio, covariance risk is the only risk important. Equity prices will be higher because the covariance with world markets will be lower than the variance. As prices rise, the expected return for the market should decline as well.
