Investing $1,000,000 for six months. Considering purchasing US T Bills at 1.810% (6 month rate, not annual), matures in 26 weeks. Spot Exchange Rate is $1.00/Yen100, six month forward rate is $1.00/Yes110, Interest rate in Japan is 15%.
I think I should Take the $1m, translate into yet at spot, invest in Japan, hedge with a forward contract because it doesn't mature to 26 weeks and I want to protect my investment with a interest in Japan at 13%.
I really think the interest rate in Japan should be 7.45% before I consider the investment.
Not sure if I'm on the right track.
