Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
The reason is US dollar is strong relative to the rest of currencies. DODLX probably has considerable exposure outside of USD. About 30% of Loomis Sayles Bond is in Canadian dollar and Mexican Peso, it also underperformed this year with -2.6 YTD return. Currency hedging can help with short term volatility, but it also adds cost.
