The annualized rate of return to the Swiss investor is -7.93%.
Explanation:
This is an instance of foreign currency bond.
Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.420, purchase price of the bond is calculated as $9,708.74 x 1.420 = 13,786.4108 Swiss Francs
Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.324, maturity value is $10,000 x 1.324 = 13,240 Swiss Francs
Holding period is 6 months.
So, annualized rate of return is: (Maturity amount - Purchase price)/Purchase price x 12 / No of months
Annualized rate of return is: (13,240 - 13,786.4108)/13,786.4108 x 12/6 = -0.079268028.
Annualized rate of return is -7.93% approximately.
