In the past, currency was often assumed to act as a natural portfolio offset. Today, long held assumptions are being challenged as correlations evolve and policy dynamics shift. Canadian investors with foreign equity exposure can be impacted by currency movements, even when underlying markets perform as expected.
To frame currency risk more deliberately, investors evaluate hedging costs, volatility, correlation behaviour and market regimes. Understanding the application of strategic frameworks and dynamic hedging is essential. Together, these steps support more intentional management of currency risk across market cycles.
Join Jafer Naqvi, Managing Director, Head of Client Portfolio Management, TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM), and Mathieu Côté, Vice President, Institutional Client Portfolio Management, TDAM, as they explore how evolving market dynamics are reshaping approaches to currency risk management.
