This column dedicated considerable ink in 2015 to currency-hedged exchange-traded funds, high on the list of ETF trends du jour. This relatively new crop of ETFs that aim to take the currency impact out of foreign investing added $40 billion in 2015. Demand was particularly heavy earlier in the year, because currency-hedged ETFs prosper when the U.S. dollar is strong—which it was, thanks to easy money from foreign central bankers that revved up foreign bourses and drove currencies lower. The $19 billion WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity (ticker: HEDJ) and $13 billion Deutsche X-trackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity (DBEF) have been atop the ETF-inflow leader board all year.
