The dissertation examines the ways to reduce risk in portfolio management through diversification and exchange rate policies addressing the shifts in risks and returns associated with investments during the current economic slowdown. Literature is reviewed on the theory of portfolio diversification, return on investments, exchange rate risks, hedging strategies, etc. The methods of regression modeling are used to investigate the risks and returns of three portfolios, i.e. a UK national portfolio consisting of the FTSE 250 share price index, a portfolio diversified into the developed US equity market represented by the S&P 500 index, and a portfolio diversified into an emerging Malaysian stock market represented by KLSE Composite index. Conclusions are made about the impact of risk, return and exchange rates associated with diversified international portfolios and the effects of portfolio diversification in the unstable financial conditions of the current economic downturn and credit crunch
