FYI: In the land of broad emerging market ETFs, where funds like the $30 billion iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) and the $57 billion Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) navigate, there’s a trio of funds that offers similar access without local currency risk. It’s the passively managed currency-hedged ETFs offering total market EM access.
These funds aren’t household names like their unhedged counterparts, and their total assets are nowhere near what unhedged emerging market ETFs have. Traction has been relatively slow even though these currency-hedged strategies have shown their worth this year in protecting from currency volatility.
