Is Currency a Legitimate Asset Class?
Question is not whether currency is a legitimate asset class but, rather, if
its relevant for most investors?
Up
until
the
launch
of
CurrencyShares
in
2005,
for
most
investors,
currency
wasnt
an option.
Today, through ETFs, all investors have access to the most heavily traded and
utilized currencies as well as a number of emerging market currencies.
Investors now have a simple, cost-effective, and efficient means to buy, sell,
sell-short and implement option strategies on the worlds most
heavily traded asset class. Strategies once limited to institutions can now
be employed by everyone. |

Currency The Ultimate Asset Class?
Fundamental investment tenants are premised on the practice of creating
well- diversified portfolios in order to enhance returns and mitigate
volatility. Significant analysis is performed in order to determine the
appropriate weightings within the various classes of equities, fixed income,
and alternative assets to achieve a proper level of diversification and
appropriate risk/reward parameters. For most investors, however, very
little consideration is given to the cash element of a portfolio.
Since
most
people
only
view
the
cash
component
of
a
portfolio
as
the
ultimate
safe
haven,
the scope of those holdings rarely ventures beyond U.S. dollars
or U.S. dollar
denominated fixed income instruments.
Currency
is
subject
a
number
of
risks
that
could
cause
a
decline
in
the
price
of
a
foreign currency including national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and
foreign inflation rates, domestic and foreign interest rates,
investment and trading activities of
institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and
situations. |

Why We Can't Afford to Ignore Currency
Currency affects every aspect of our lives from the goods and services we purchase
to the returns we receive (currency has a significant impact on the returns
of both domestic and international companies).
S&P

nearly
half
of
their
sales
from
outside
the
U.S.
Currencies impact business in a numerous ways including:
Translation
Exposure
the
conversion
of
foreign-earned
revenues
to
its
home
currency
Transaction
Exposure
Impact

Currency as an Asset Class
The premise of holding only U.S. Dollars is outdated as more and
goods and services are produced outside the U.S.
The massive volatility in the global currency markets has created periods where
investors have lost the safe haven
benefit of U.S. Dollars through the erosion of
purchasing power.
The volatility has also created a tremendous amount of opportunity from an
investment prospective.
In conclusion, further diversification¹
within the cash-component of a well diversified
portfolio is worthy of consideration in order to insulate customers against a loss
of purchasing power as well as enable them to benefit from the potential
returns available in the currency market.
(1) Diversification neither assures a profit nor eliminates the risk of
experiencing investment losses. |
