Currency-hedged ETFs focused on Europe continued to rake in assets in the past week, as investors looked for ways to play the budding eurozone recovery while protecting themselves from the devaluing euro.

 

Even as the financial crisis in Greece continues to unfold, investor appetite for international stocks has gone undeterred. In the past five days ended Thursday, March 26, they poured more than $4.01 billion into international equity ETFs.

 

Both the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (HEDJ | B-59) and the Deutsche X-trackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (DBEF | B-77) were among the week’s most popular funds, gathering $709 million and $472 million, respectively.

 

Not so popular were U.S. equity funds, which, in the aggregate, bled some $14.12 billion in assets in a week. In all, total U.S.-listed ETF assets slipped about $9 billion in the past five days, ending the week at $2.094 trillion.
