can someone explain their choice of A
Mike0021: Its one of the 2 definitions of economic risk in the currency risk management article( I think). So i answered it more from memory.
mike0021 here is the explanation from Schweser: Your answer: A was correct! This is the measure of economic risk; it is the covariance of the portfolio return with the currency return over the variance of the currency return. Estimating this measure is part of composing a minimum-variance hedge.
I guess I should start learning those definitions. Helpful question, Dwight!
^ maratikus do you only post if you know the answer for sure? You seem to get a high proportion of the answers correct.
