Abstract
We examine if the benefits of international portfolio diversification are robust to time-varying asset return
volatility. Since diversified portfolios are subject to common cross-country shocks, we focus on the transmission
mechanism of such shocks in the presence of regime-switching volatility. Generally, market linkages
are stable with little evidence of increased market interdependence in turbulent periods. Furthermore, risk
reduction is consistently delivered for the US investor who holds foreign equity.
