I've learned interest rates parity in school and it doesn't make sense to me in real life. If govt backed bonds in relatively strong EM economies (India, Brazil) are offering 9%+ interest and if it costs me 5%-6% to borrow money in the US why not borrow and invest? Take away a 1% for t-cost and I'm still looking at free money. I of course take on forex risk but even after hedging forex there isn't true "parity". Am I missing something here?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
True, this happens, and loads of people are doing this.
Same this in a smaller scale, I instructed a Investor who had Fixed deposits with Banks in India @8%, I got them pledged and took a Loan against them @9%, the money was invested in 12.25% Corp Bond.
