Author

Abstract

The paper proposes the use of an index which measures the performance of the stock market in one country relative to that in another country. Such indices can remedy information gathering/processing inabilities or reluctances and induce investors to view financial investments in foreign markets more favourably. The indices can be a useful tool in asset allocation efforts. Options written on the indices can be used to hedge the risks of international investment. The relative performance indices can also be included in the toolkit of financial-performance-convergence researchers.
