Part One: 03 Discussion – Foreign Investments – Due Mon 11/27/17

(Needs to be 150 words)

Two types of foreign investment exist: Foreign Portfolio Investments (FPI) and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). The difference between these two is determined by the level control sought and gained by the investor. FPI is passive while FDI is more aggressive in its methods of acquisitions.
