One alternative way to profit from changes in currency values is to trade a currency ETF.
Just as stock Exchange Trade Funds have become an inseparable part of every (sensible) investor’s portfolio, so too do currency ETFs can, and should, play a part in any Forex trader’s strategy.
For a person who is used to the way things are done in the stock market but still wants to dabble in foreign currency trading, a currency ETF is the perfect way to invest in the Forex market in a familiar way.
Currency ETFs are traded like a regular stock, don’t require a special Forex account and they have a market price which is calculated by points, not pips like currency values.
A Currency ETf tracks the value of a currency by keeping cash deposits or using future contracts in the said currency. This ensures a highly correlated ETF price to currency value. Some Exchange Trade Funds specific currencies like the USD, or Swiss Frank.
Other ETFs track a basket of currencies. And this is where the main advantage of forex etfs come into play:
Suppose you think the USD is going to rise in the world, but you don’t know which currency pair to trade in. Instead of placing several different trades in which the dollar is paired with 4-5 foreign currencies, you can invest in 1 ETF which tracks the dollar in relation to the EUR, GBP, AUD, etc.
This means that if your prediction is true and the dollar will rise all over the world, you run less of a risk in having to pinpoint the exact currency pair which will shift the most. The ETF does it for you. And it’s not just the USD. There are asian currency ETFs, Chinese currency ETFs, and so on and so forth. It’s a widespread market.
One more thing about ETFs is that they’re not traded 24 hours a day like the Forex market does. They’re traded like a stock. This means that the value of the ETF won’t shift during the night when you sleep. No more surprise filled mornings.
Overall, ETFs, whether currency or stock Funds are an excellent inestment tool which I highly recommend that you become familir with.
