In the paper, Jantke studies the impact of foreign portfolio investments on exchange rates. Countries that hold a relatively small volume of their foreign assets in stocks and bonds of central countries - measured by their market capitalization - pay on average higher currency excess returns and interest rates. These risk premia compensate for larger depreciation rates during periods of global financial uncertainty.
