How to hedge against a loonie in decline
Here is the link.
The hedged iShares S&P 500 Index Fund (XSP) made 3.2 per cent annually for the five years to May 31, while the S&P 500 made 4.1 per cent. XSP's management expense ratio is 0.25 per cent, which means tracking error caused in part by currency hedging played a role in the rest of the shortfall.
Over periods of 10 years or longer, many experts believe hedging is unnecessary because currency ups and downs cancel each other out. It's also thought that hedging isn't needed when investing in a broad index of international countries, where currency risk is limited by diversification.
Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (CAD-hedged)
Here is the link.
Objective
The fund seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad U.S. equity index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization U.S. stocks, which Index is hedged to the Canadian dollar. Currently, this Vanguard ETF seeks to track the S&P 500 Index (CAD-Hedged) (or any successor thereto).
It invests directly or indirectly primarily in stocks of U.S. companies and uses derivative instruments to seek to hedge the U.S. dollar exposure of the securities included in the S&P 500 Index back to the Canadian dollar.
About the benchmark
The S&P 500 Index (CAD-Hedged) is a market-capitalization-weighted index that is designed to represent the returns of large-capitalization U.S. stocks, with the U.S. dollar exposure of the securities included in the S&P 500 Index hedged to the Canadian dollar.
