The Currency ‘Hedge of Least Regret’

Currency hedged ETFs are back in vogue as the dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. But is now the right time to buy these funds or should investors stick with unhedged ETFs?

In this episode of Talk ETFs, Dan Petersen, ETF Product Manager at IndexIQ, sits down with etf.com Senior Analyst to discuss the pros and cons of currency hedged ETFs, as well as a unique hybrid currency hedged strategy—the “hedge of least regret,” as he calls it.

Petersen also discusses recent developments in the currency markets, as well as the IQ FTSE International Equity Currency Neutral ETF (HFXI).
