In 2016 the annual interest rate on Korean deposits is 6.25% versus 3.75% on deposits in Japan. Suppose that the forward one-year-ahead bilateral exchange rate in 2016 is equal to Fwon/Y = 8.2. Also, in 2016, the expected one-year ahead bilateral exchange rate is Eon/ = 8.528. Finally, the spot bilateral exchange rate in 2016 is Ewon/Y = 8. For the remainder of this question, please use the linear approximations for uncovered and covered interest rate parity to calculate returns (as needed). Consider a Korean investor who decides to invest 1 Won in 2016 and one year later will cash in her/his returns in Wons no matter what. Assume this investor is considering allocating her/his investment in a convex combination of the noted Korean and Japanese assets. Let wwon E [0, 1] denote the weight on Korean assets in this convex combination of assets (w is the Greek letter "omega"). Find the optimal value of wiwon if the investor decides to hedge (i.e., use the forward cover) and the optimal value of this weight if the investor decides to speculate (i.e., not use the forward cover). Given these optimal weights, should the investor speculate or hedge? Please show your work. In 2016 the annual interest rate on Korean deposits is 6.25% versus 3.75% on deposits in Japan.
