5 ASX ETFs to watch if the AUD rises
A rising Australian dollar can quietly chip away at returns from overseas investments, which is why currency hedging is back in focus for many ETF investors.
For years, a weaker Aussie dollar helped boost returns from global shares. Now the backdrop is shifting. If the AUD strengthens, unhedged international exposures can face a headwind, even when underlying markets are performing well.
That dynamic has seen DP Wealth Advisory actively manage currency exposure within our client portfolios. As the AUD collapsed toward 60 US cents during last year’s tariff driven volatility, our director Andrew Wielandt increased hedging, with portfolios now sitting around a 50 percent hedged and 50 percent unhedged position.
In this Livewire article, Andrew shares his perspective on managing currency exposure within global portfolios. The piece by Vishal Teckchandani also explores several popular ASX listed ETFs being used to navigate currency risk, making it a timely read for investors reviewing their international allocations.
