Vanguard has introduced euro-hedged share classes for three fixed income ETFs that deliver core access to Treasury, gilt, and USD corporate bond markets.
Vanguard has launched three currency-hedged ETF share classes on Deutsche Börse Xetra.
The funds track broad-maturity indices from Bloomberg Barclays via physical replication using a sample-based approach.
Income is accumulated within the portfolios.
The new share classes have been listed on Deutsche Börse’s Xetra platform and provide investors with tools to mitigate the foreign-exchange exposure of underlying dollar- or sterling-denominated securities relative to the euro.
A growing number of investors have sought to incorporate currency hedging strategies into their portfolios this year owing to heightened levels of volatility between major currency pairs – a function of the uncertain economic backdrop caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The rolling one-year volatility between the euro and the dollar is up from 4.4% at the start of the year to 7.3% (as of 8 September), while the rolling one-year volatility between the euro and pound sterling has climbed from 7.9% to 9.7% over the same period.
