The most widely held liquid security is the Treasury bill, which is commonly issued by the ministry of finance. However, s
2、ome Treasury bills, like the Treasury bill of the U. S. government, do not actually pay interest. Instead they are issued at a discount from par (their value at maturity). The investors yield comes from the increase in the value of the security between the time it was pm, chased and the time it matu
3、res. Treasury bills are attractive to investors because they are backed by the government and therefore are virtually free of default risk. Because even if the government ran out of money, it could simply print more to pay them off when they mature. The risk of unexpected changes in inflation is als
4、o low because of the short term to maturity. The markets for Treasury bills in most developed countries are deep and liquid. A deep market is one with many different buyers and sellers. A liquid market is one in which securities can be bought and sold quickly and with low transaction costs. Investor

Sigmund is considering investing in the country of Zuflak as part of an emergi

10、ustries (Oleg), and Malik Incorporated (Malik) - the three primary companies domiciled in Zuflak that Sigmund has determined to have adequate liquidity for inclusion in PGAs client portfolios. Testorf gives Sigmund a rough draft of his report and tells Sigmund that in order to account for country sp
11、ecific emerging market risks; he used a probability-weighted scenario analysis to adjust cash flows. Sigmund asks him, “Why didnt you simply adjust the discount rate ” Testorf replies with three reasons: Reason 1: The country risk attributable to Zuflak can be diversified away according to modern fi
12、nance theory, and should not be included in the cost of capital. Reason 2: Companies in emerging markets tend to exhibit wild price swings both up and down, therefore adjusting cash flows is the best way to account for these symmetrical country risks. Reason 3: Although Kiani, Oleg, and Malik are al
13、l domiciled in Zuflak, each of these companies will tend to respond differently to country risks. This makes it virtually impossible to adjust the discount rate for country specific risk and come up with an accurate valuation estimate. After careful analysis by Sigmund and his team, Sigmund decides
14、that he wants to have exposure to Zuflak in his international portfolios. He is still unsure however, what the best way would be to establish the exposure. Sigmund discusses his concerns with Steve Solak, another portfolio manager with PGA. Solak suggests that Sigmund consider using a closed-end cou
15、ntry fund to invest in Zuflak. Solak hands Sigmund a copy of a note that he had provided to a client listing facts about country-specific closed end funds. The note contained the following statements: Closed-end country funds provide an excellent means to access local foreign markets. Even nations t
16、hat have restrictions on foreign investment are sometimes accessible using closed-end country funds. Closed-end country funds issue a fixed number of shares and are a great way to diversify a U.S.-dollar stock portfolio because of their low correlation with the U.S. stock market. Sigmund thanks Sola
