FYI: A new whitepaper from Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (Deutsche AWM) considers the benefits of using currency-hedged ETFs (exchange-traded funds) to gain foreign equity exposure. Written by Deutsche AWM ETF strategists Dodd Kittsley and Abby Woddham, the paper explores the growth of investor interest in foreign stocks and the ETFs that hold them, as well as considering the potential “currency risk” of holding unhedged foreign equities.
