Speaker: Dr Soohun Kim, KAIST College of Business

About the seminar

We develop a framework for analysing individual stocks in a foreign market and constructing effective trading strategies for a home-country investor.

Our approach exploits:

• mispricing in the foreign market
• risk premia disparities between home and foreign countries
• foreign country-specific investment opportunities.

Applying this framework to 26 developed and developing countries, we provide evidence of substantial international investment opportunities, even among G7 countries. In particular, the profitability of strategies exploiting risk premia disparities challenges the prevailing view of a tightly integrated international financial market.
