AUDS

About

Gives investors a simple and accessible way to obtain magnified “long” exposure to the value of Australian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar

• A 1% increase in the value of the Australian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar on a given day can generally be expected to deliver a 2.0% to 2.75% increase in the value of the Fund (and vice versa)
• Profit from a view that the Australian Dollar will strengthen relative to the U.S. Dollar via an efficient use of capital
• Hedge international investments – reduce the impact of currency movements from investments denominated in U.S. Dollars
• Diversify a portfolio – currencies have historically shown low correlation to equities, fixed income and most other asset classes
• Alternative to CFDs or FX platforms

Gearing magnifies gains and losses and may not be a suitable strategy for all investors. Returns over longer periods will not necessarily be equivalent to 200% – 275% of the return of the Australian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar over that period.

Advantages

• No margin calls for investors – cannot lose more than initial investment
• Liquidity – available to trade on ASX like any share

How to Invest
