Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to study the effect of fixed exchange rate policy on the performance of selected stock returns at KLSE. The EGARCH model is used to forecast volatility and to calculate ‘Value at risk’ (VaR). Based on the estimated VaR, mining index has the highest risk while industral index has the lowest risk. The fixed exchange rate policy has reduced the risk by as much as 50% for some selected stocks at KLSE.
