Currency diversification is the new buzzword for investors after news of the first US/Japan coordinated currency intervention in decades.
This brings to the forefront how volatile markets are becoming and the growing strain on the global financial system.
Currency diversification is the strategy of holding investments, savings, or income in more than one currency rather than relying on a single currency. The aim is to reduce the impact of exchange rate movements and protect purchasing power over the long term.
“Diversifying across currencies, rather than focusing solely on different asset classes, is no longer optional in the current market environment. When two major authorities coordinate intervention and indicate they are prepared to act again if necessary, it sends a strong signal that currency market volatility is likely to persist.” – deVere CEO Nigel Green.
For people with international lifestyles—such as expatriates, global investors, or those planning to retire abroad—currency diversification can be an important part of financial planning.
It is essential to ensure that your portfolio is suitably diversified not only across sectors, regions, and asset classes, but also internationally to withstand currency volatility.
If you are concerned that your portfolio might be single currency heavy, chat with a financial adviser to review your investment portfolio.
