Published July 2024. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at hedging via the historic performance of the MSCI World ex Australia Index (net div., Hedged to AUD) and we combined it in a 50/50 split with the unhedged version of the index.

Some people would know the combination of the ETFs that seek to track the performance of these indices as the VGAD and VAS, so it's an interesting look back to see the effect currency can have on investment returns.

We go back to the inception of the portfolio in 1988 to look at the ups and downs along the way. If you're looking for long term investment strategies using these indices may be of value to you.
