Thanks. Why isn't it called 'currency hedged' instead of 'hedged'? Seems to me that there are numerous ways of 'hedging your bets', currency-hedging being just one of them. And doesn't it depend on what is the currency pair and is one's home currency pegged to the US dollar (e.g. if your account is in KHR and you are buying an ETF in SGD. Plus, market conditions. And what is the inflation of either currency - say you are holding Venezuelan pesos or Turkish lira but investing in a harder currency. I think it us more complicated than even your longer explanation. AND what is your currency of savings. The more steps you take the more you lose. For ecample, once I bought an AUD term deposit in a SGD-based bank but had to finance with CAD. All in all I lost despite the supposed interest.
