Within internationally invested portfolios, currency fluctuations can have a significant impact on overall risk and return. Investors seeking purer exposure to the underlying investments of any international market can potentially reduce risk with a currency-hedged investment. Deutsche X-trackers currency-hedged, international equity ETFs offer investors a variety of potential investment solutions from broad core international holdings to targeted investments in specific countries. The ETFs seek currency-neutral market-cap exposure to designated international markets.
“As a European-based bank, we have been able to leverage our local insight to offer the most comprehensive suite of currency-hedged international equity ETFs in the US,” says Fiona Bassett (pictured), Head of Passive in the Americas. “We will continue to strategically expand our suite, providing strategies that meet the demands of investors.”
