ETF Trends Editor Tom Lydon joined Yahoo Finance’s Jeff Macke to discuss currency hedged exchange traded funds and the advantages of these ETFs as the European Central Bank embarks on its quantitative easing regimen. Lydon highlighted the Deutsche X-Trackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF (NYSEArca: DBEU) and the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (NYSEArca: HEDJ) as avenues for investors to profit from dollar strength, euro weakness and rising European equities.
HEDJ, the top asset-gathering ETF this year, is a dedicated Eurozone fund while DBEU features exposure to British, Nordic and Swiss stocks along with Eurozone equities.
