Managing Foreign Currency Risk in a Global Portfolio
What are the considerations for pensions funds and their trustee's?
Holding a foreign investment implies an intrinsic exposure to the foreign currency in which your investment is based. This can have a material impact on the value of your portfolio. The value of the GBP after Brexit is a classic example of the risks undertaken. With GBP falling more than 10% against the EUR, the currency effect caused a significant decline in the value of any UK investments held by EUR based investors. What factors do we need to consider given these risks and how does the current Economic environment influence this?
