Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 資源工程學系 === 84 === The purpose of this paper is to apply the Futures Hedging Theory and PortfolioSelection Theory to purchasing strategy of copper metal imports. According to the pratical results, we get several main conclusions as following:1.The presentpurchasing strategy is worse and taking hedging transaction blindly is not entirelybeneficial; contrarily, to take other hedging transactions, such as strategy X5,can increase returns and reduce risks. 2.When the futures trading volumns are fixed, to take hedging transactions in the second and forth seasons at the sametime is better than only in the forth season; to take transactions in the forthseason is better than in the second season. However, to take transactions all theyear will enormously decrease the mean returns but meanwhile it will reduse risks.Generally speaking, when the futures transaction season is fixed, the higher the hedge ratio is, the better the operating performance is. 3.In pursuing the combinationof maximum returns and minimum risks, efficient frontier is more beneficial thanany other purchasing strategies in increasing returns and reducing risks.
