maturities, risk-return characteristics,
and cash flow patterns being spawned
due to competition and deregulations
in the financial sector
3-4
The Case for Global Investment

Three reasons Canadian investors should think of
constructing global investment portfolios
1. Ignoring foreign markets can substantially
reduce the investment choices for all investors
2. Rates of return on foreign securities often
substantially exceed those on Canadian
investments
3. Low correlation between Canadian securities
markets and many foreign markets can help to
substantially reduce portfolio risk
3-5
The Case for Global Investment

Relative Size of Financial Markets
Share of U.S. in world stock and bond markets has dropped from about 65% of the total in 1969 to about 46% in 2006
Growing importance of foreign securities in world capital markets is likely to continue
Overall value of securities available in world capital market has increased from $2.3 trillion in 1969 to $103 trillion in
2006
U.S. portion has declined to less than half
3-6
The Case for Global Investments
3-7
The Case for Global Investments:

Bond Markets
The performance of the Canadian bond market ranked higher

than the U.S. bond market due to the weaker Canadian dollar
during the period.
3-8

Equity Markets
Investors that limit themselves to domestic markets may

experience below average ROI.
Notice that Canadian and Mexican equity markets produced
comparatively high returns in the 2003-06 period.
3-9

Diversification
Diversification with foreign securities can
help reduce portfolio risk because foreign
markets have low correlation with Canadian
capital markets.
The correlation of returns between a single
pair of countries changes over time because
the factors influencing the correlation change
over time.
3-10

Diversification
Diversified portfolios reduce variability of returns
over time.
Correlation coefficients measure diversification
contribution.
Correlations range from -1.00 to +1.00
Combining investments with perfect positive
correlation will NOT help diversification.
Combining two assets with negative correlation is
ideal for diversification
3-11
The Case for Global Investment:

Global Bond Portfolio

Low positive
correlations among
returns indicates
substantial
opportunities for risk
reduction
Why? International

economic growth &
fiscal & monetary
policies differ between
countries
3-12

Global Bond Portfolio
Low Positive Correlation
Opportunities for investors to reduce risk
Correlation changes over time
Adding non-correlated foreign bonds to a

return & reduces portfolio risk

Global Equity Portfolio
Low Positive
Correlation
Correlation of world
equity markets
resembles that for
bonds
CanadaU.S.
correlation is relatively
low ranging from .537
to .635 but is a very

comparing Canada &
Japan
