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.
