  • Latest from WisdomTree: An Emerging Market Currency Basket ETF [View article]
    The issue of currency etfs not returning the local interest rate has been hashed out among contributers many times at SA: no Wisdom Tree currency fund owns direct holdings in the underlying tracked currency. There are other reasons why you should not expect local yield, as well, but this characteristic is one of the more salient ones.

    True - BZF might be many things, but a high yielder it isn't: 3.99% Ex on Dec 22nd. And it is the B. real in name only: these WisdomTree currency ETFs, while useful, are not direct investments in international currencies: they're complex products that simulate currency pairs (in this case, USD:BZR).
