Preface

Our Reason for Writing this Textbook

We (Cheol and Bruce) have been teaching international financial management to
undergraduates and M.B.A. students at Georgia Institute of Technology, Wake Forest
University, and at other universities we have visited for more than three decades. Dur-
ing this time period, we conducted many research studies, published in major finance
and statistics journals, concerning the operation of international financial markets. As
one might imagine, in doing this we put together an extensive set of teaching materi-
als that we used successfully in the classroom. As the years went by, we individually
relied more on our own teaching materials and notes and less on any one of the major
existing textbooks in international finance (most of which we tried at some point). In
the Ninth Edition, Tuugi Chuluun from Loyola University Maryland, joined us as a
co-author and continues the tradition we have established in offering up-to-date and
timely coverage of the subject of international financial management.
As you may be aware, the scope and content of international finance have been fast
evolving due to cycles of deregulations and regulations of financial markets, prod-
uct innovations, and technological advancements. As capital markets of the world are
becoming more integrated, a solid understanding of international finance has become
essential for astute corporate decision making. Reflecting the growing importance of
international finance as a discipline, we have seen a sharp increase in the demand for
experts in the area in both the corporate and academic worlds.
In writing International Financial Management, Tenth Edition, our goal was to
provide well-organized, comprehensive, and up-to-date coverage of the topics that take
advantage of our many years of teaching and research in this area. We hope the text
is challenging to students. This does not mean that it lacks readability. The text dis-
cussion is written so that a self-contained treatment of each subject is presented in a
user-friendly fashion. The text is intended for use at both the advanced undergraduate
and M.B.A. levels.

The Underlying Philosophy

International Financial Management, Tenth Edition, like the previous nine editions,
is written based on two tenets: emphasis on the basics and emphasis on a managerial
perspective.
Emphasis on the We believe that any subject is better learned if one is first well grounded in the
Basics basics. Consequently, we initially devote several chapters to the fundamental concepts
of international finance. After these are learned, the remaining material flows easily
from them. We always bring the reader back, as the more advanced topics are devel-
oped, to their relationship to the fundamentals. By doing this, we believe students will

ix

be left with a framework for analysis that will serve them well when they need to apply
this material in their careers in the years ahead.
We believe this approach has produced a successfuI textbook: International Finan-
cial Management is used in many of the best business schools in the world. Various
editions of the text have been translated into Chinese (in both traditional and sim-
plified forms), Spanish, Korean, and Indonesian. In addition, local co-authors have
assisted in preparing Canadian, Malaysian, and Indian adaptations.

Tenth Edition Organization

International Financial Management, Tenth Edition, has been completely updated.
Data tables and statistics are the most current available when the text went to press.

 Exhibit 11.6 shows the relationship among the various interest rates we have dis-
cussed in this section specifically for the USD. On January 5, 2022, U.S. domestic banks Final PDF to printer
were paying .25 percent for six-month NCDs and the prime lending rate, the base rate
charged the bank’s most creditworthy corporate clients, was 3.25 percent. This appears
to represent a spread of 3.00 percent for the bank to cover operating costs and earn
a profit. Also on January 5, the six-month CME Term SOFR rate was .20 percent.
Thus, by comparison, it is reasonable to think that Eurobanks will accept six-month
Eurodollar time deposits, say, Eurodollar NCDs, at a bid rate of .43 percent, calculated
as the sum of the six-month CME Term SOFR rate of .20 percent + a six-month Bank
Credit premium of .43 percent – an interbank bid-ask spread of .20 percent. Similarly,
it is reasonable that a Eurobank would offer six-month Eurodollars in the interbank
market at .63 percent, calculated as the sum of the six-month CME Term SOFR rate of
.20 percent + the six-month Bank Credit premium of .43. By comparison, the Eurobank
would charge a corporate client a rate of .63 percent + X percent, where any lending

margin less than 2.62 [= 3.25 – .63] percent appears to make the Eurodollar loan more
attractive than the prime rate loan. Since lending margins typically fall in the range of
.25 percent to 3 percent, with the median rate being .50 percent to 1.50 percent, the
exhibit shows the narrow borrowing-lending spreads of Eurobankers in the Eurodollar
credit market. This analysis seems to suggest that borrowers can obtain funds somewhat
more cheaply in the Eurodollar market. However, international competition in recent
years has forced U.S. commercial banks to lend domestically at rates below prime.

To assist in course preparation, the following instructor ancillaries are within the
Instructor Library in Connect:
• Solutions Manual—Includes detailed suggested answers and solutions to the
end-of-chapter questions and problems, written by the authors.
• Test Bank—True/false and multiple-choice test questions for each chapter
prepared by Leslie Rush, University of Hawaii–West Oahu. Available as Word
documents and assignable within Connect.
• PowerPoint Presentations—PowerPoint slides for each chapter to use in
classroom lecture settings, created by the authors.
• Videos—Mini lectures and guided examples covering various quantitative
concepts, created by the authors. Assignable within Connect and linked to the
related end-of-chapter problems and questions.
The resources also include the International Finance Software that can be used with
this book. This Excel software has four main programs:
• A currency options pricing program allows students to price put and call
options on foreign exchange.
• A hedging program allows students to compare forward, money market
instruments, futures, and options for hedging exchange risk.
• A currency swap program allows students to calculate the cash flows and
notional values associated with swapping fixed-rate debt from one currency
into another.
• A portfolio optimization program based on the Markowitz model allows for
examining the benefits of international portfolio diversification.
The four programs can be used to solve certain end-of-chapter problems (marked with
an Excel icon) or assignments the instructor devises. A User’s Manual and sample
projects are included in the Instructor Resources.
