What’s Special about
“International” Finance?
z Foreign Exchange Risk
The risk that foreign currency profits may evaporate in
dollar terms due to unanticipated unfavorable exchange
rate movements.
Suppose $1 = ¥100 and you buy 10 shares of Toyota at
¥10,000 per share.
One year later the investment is worth ten percent more
in yen: ¥110,000
But, if the yen has depreciated to $1 = ¥120, your
investment has actually lost money in dollar terms.

What’s Special about
“International” Finance?
z Political Risk
Sovereign governments have the right to regulate the
movement of goods, capital, and people across their
borders. These laws sometimes change in unexpected
ways.

The Example of Nestlé’s Market
Imperfection
z Nestlé used to issue two different classes of
common stock bearer shares and registered shares.
Foreigners were only allowed to buy bearer shares.
Swiss citizens could buy registered shares.
The bearer stock was more expensive.
z On November 18, 1988, Nestlé lifted restrictions
imposed on foreigners, allowing them to hold
registered shares as well as bearer shares.

The Example of Nestlé’s Market
Imperfection
z Following this, the price spread between the two
types of shares narrowed dramatically.
This implies that there was a major transfer of wealth
from foreign shareholders to Swiss shareholders.
z Foreigners holding Nestlé bearer shares were
exposed to political risk in a country that is widely
viewed as a haven from such risk.
z The Nestlé episode illustrates both the importance
of considering market imperfections and the peril
of political risk.

z Expanded Opportunity Set
It doesn’t make sense to play in only one corner
of the sandbox.
True for corporations as well as individual
investors.

“International” Finance?

z The focus of the text is to equip the reader with
the “intellectual toolbox” of an effective global
manager—but what goal should this effective
global manager be working toward?
z Maximization of shareholder wealth?
or
z Other Goals?
Goals for International Financial
Management
5Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1-12
Maximize Shareholder Wealth
z Long accepted as a goal in the Anglo-Saxon
countries, but complications arise.
Who are and where are the shareholders?
In what currency should we maximize their
wealth?
Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1-13
Other Goals
z In other countries shareholders are viewed as merely one
among many “stakeholders” of the firm including:
Employees
Suppliers
Customers
z In Japan, managers have typically sought to maximize the
value of the keiretsu—a family of firms to which the
individual firms belongs.
Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1-14
Other Goals
z As shown by a series of recent corporate scandals
at companies like Enron, WorldCom, and Global
Crossing, managers may pursue their own private
interests at the expense of shareholders when they
are not closely monitored.
z These calamities have painfully reinforced the
importance of corporate governance i.e. the
financial and legal framework for regulating the
relationship between a firm’s management and its
shareholders.
6Copyright © 2007 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. 1-15
Other Goals
z These types of issues can be much more serious in
many other parts of the world, especially emerging
and transitional economies, such as Indonesia,
Korea, and Russia, where legal protection of
shareholders is weak or virtually non-existing.
z No matter what the other goals, they cannot be
achieved in the long term if the maximization of
shareholder wealth is not given due consideration.

Economic Integration
z Over the past 50 years, international trade
increased about twice as fast as world GDP.
z There has been a sea change in the attitudes of
many of the world’s governments who have
abandoned mercantilist views and embraced free
trade as the surest route to prosperity for their
citizenry.

Liberalization of
Protectionist Legislation

countries has reduced many barriers to trade.

NAFTA
z The North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) calls for phasing out impediments to
trade between Canada, Mexico and the United
States over a 15-year period.
z For Mexico, the ratio of export to GDP has
increased dramatically from 2.2% in 1973 to
28.7% in 2001.
z The increased trade will result in increased
numbers of jobs and a higher standard of living
for all member nations.

Privatization
z The selling off state-run enterprises to investors is
also known as “Denationalization”.

market economies.

the enterprise.
z Often spurs a tremendous increase in cross-border
investment.

country and sell their output in various other
national markets.
