Redefine Excellence: Premier FX Training for Fearless Pros

FX risk is the potential impact of currency exchange rate changes on foreign investment returns. It's important because it can significantly affect overall performance, even when local investments do well.

When a local currency weakens against the investor's home currency, returns in the home currency are lower. For example, Brazil's stock market doubled locally, but U.S. investors lost 20% due to currency depreciation.

FX risk can increase investment volatility by 50% or more. This makes returns harder to predict and increases overall investment risk.

Yes. A high positive correlation increases risk, as both investment and currency tend to move together. A negative correlation can provide a natural hedge, which is less common in LATAM investments.

Diversification helps, but more is needed to address FX risk fully. Even diversified LATAM portfolios can have lower returns and higher volatility due to currency fluctuations.

FX risk often lowers the Sharpe Ratio by decreasing returns and increasing volatility. This indicates reduced risk-adjusted performance.

Not always, but it's often crucial, especially when investment and currency returns are highly correlated. The need depends on specific circumstances and investor goals.

Key factors include currency trends, volatility, correlation with investments, overall portfolio impact, hedging costs, investment timeframe, and investor risk tolerance.

Yes, such as when there's a natural hedge from negative correlations, expected favorable currency movements, or very short-term investments. However, these situations are less common in LATAM investments.
