Why is the FUEL ETF currency hedged?
FUEL hedges its foreign currency exposure back to Australian dollars, reducing the impact that movements in exchange rates can have on returns. This means FUEL's performance is more closely linked to the underlying global energy companies and less directly affected by movements in the Australian dollar. Currency hedging can reduce currency risk, but it also has costs and does not eliminate all currency-related effects.
