The currency hedge calculation for the WisdomTree Dynamic Hedged Equity Indexes will be updated as follows as of the upcoming monthly rebalance at the end of December:
- Momentum: 12.5% of the total hedge ratio is determined by momentum. When the three-month average of the currency’s spot price versus U.S. dollar is weaker than that of the past month (i.e. the targeted currency is depreciating), the hedge ratio of 12.5% is applied.
- Interest Rate Differentials: 12.5% of the total hedge ratio is determined by measuring the difference in interest rates, as implied in one month FX forwards, between each currency and U.S. dollar. If the implied interest rate in the United States is higher than that within the targeted currency, a further 12.5% hedge ratio is applied for that currency on this signal.
- Low Volatility: 12.5% of the total hedge ratio is determined by a volatility signal that provides unhedged exposure to the lowest volatility currencies.
- The full 12.5% hedge ratio for this signal is applied for the top two thirds currencies with the highest 24-month return volatilities.
- There is no hedge ratio applied for the remaining currencies.
- Cross-Asset Predicted Return: 12.5% of the total hedge ratio is determined by currencies’ predicted returns based on equity index returns for the past 12 months.
- The full 12.5% hedge ratio for this signal is applied for currencies with negative predicted return for the past 12 months.
- There is no hedge ratio applied for currencies with positive predicted return for the past 12 months.
- Time-series momentum: 50% of the total hedge ratio for all currencies is determined by the overall broad trend in the U.S. dollar
- A hedge ratio of 0% is applied to all currencies if the weighted average momentum of all currencies is below 33%.
- A hedge ratio of 50% is applied to all currencies if the weighted average momentum of all currencies is above 66%.
- A hedge ratio of 25% is applied to all currencies otherwise.
