Abstract
► We examine the benefit of currency hedging for emerging-market equity investment. ► No-hedge portfolio often has higher Sharpe ratios than full-hedge portfolios. ► No-hedge portfolios and optimal-hedge portfolios have comparable Sharpe ratios. ► Hedging generates low-volatility, negative returns uncorrelated with stock investment.
