Index Description

A currency-hedged index represents returns for global index investment strategies that involve hedging currency risk, but not the underlying constituent risk. Market participants who employ a currency-hedged investment strategy are generally willing to forgo potential currency gains in exchange for a reduction in the risks associated with foreign exchange fluctuations. To achieve this, the index combines the performance of the underlying index (e.g. the STOXX Europe 600 Index) with a hypothetical, rolling investment into one-month foreign exchange forward contracts. By selling foreign exchange forward contracts, global investors are able to lock in current exchange forward rates and manage their currency risk. Profits (losses) from the forward contracts are offset by losses (profits) in the value of the currency, thereby negating exposure to the currency.
