CEW vs. ETF Alternatives

CEW Description

The Fund seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in selected emerging market countries available to foreign investors and changes to the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Since the Fund's investment objective has been adopted as a non-fundamental investment policy, the Fund's investment objective may be changed without a vote of shareholders.

Wednesday, June 5, 1:40 PM "The market is in panic mode into nonfarm payrolls," says SocGen's Guillaume Salomon of emerging market currencies (CEW). The South African rand (SZR) continues to lead the way down, off 2% vs. the greenback, but also off today is the previously stalwart Mexican Peso, -1%. "The thing to remember is the exit door - whatever emerging market you're talking about - is always relatively narrow." Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 29, 12:54 PM Datatec (DTTLF.PK), the South African computer-networking firm which primarily installs Cisco (CSCO) products, is "a pure rand hedge" for South African rand investors, according to CEO Jens Montanana. The company's share price rise is correlating .85 (1.0 would be perfect) to the fall of the rand vs. the U.S. dollar. Montanana says the company is beginning to consider U.S. acquisitions. Related ETFs: AFK, CEW. Comment!
Monday, May 20, 8:22 AM Guggenheim announces the closing of its Chinese Yuan bond ETF (RMB), effective June 14 as the fund failed to generate significant investor interest since its 2011 launch. The fund’s May dividend distribution will be suspended which should maximize the amount shareholders will receive at liquidation on or about June 21st. Comment!
Wednesday, February 13, 10:46 AM Guggenheim's CurrencyShares Singapore Dollar Trust (FXSG) is the 1st ETF tracking the Singapore dollar. The ETF holds foreign currency deposits rather than derivatives, rising when the U.S. dollar weakens relative to the Singapore dollar. FXSG comes with an expense ratio of 0.40% - standard for CurrencyShares ETFs, but cheaper than other currency ETFs UUP (0.50%), CEW (0.55%), INR (0.55%), BZF (0.45%), CNY (0.55%), ERO (0.40%) and ICI (0.65%).

Tuesday, February 12, 7:07 PM Pimco has rolled out its Foreign Currency Strategy ETF FORX, which is a portfolio of currencies and local currency bonds actively managed to help investors diversify out of the dollar and preserve their purchasing power. Competitors: UDN, UDNT, ICI, CEW Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, June 4, 2012, 11:53 AM CitiFX reports a new low in its Emerging Market Currency Positioning Indicator, not significant for its size, but because managers are typically net long EM. Among the largest short positions is in the real (BRL). Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 3:39 PM Only 90 days ago warning of "currency wars" and intervening to weaken their currencies, emerging nations are now moving to prop them up even as growth concerns begin to overtake inflation worries. "Policymakers have to try and strike a very careful balance," says Standard Chartered's Callum Henderson. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 8:20 AM A round-up of the performance of key ETFs shows Treasurys (TLT) as the only one down for the year, even as government paper had the best performance of any during April. Worst in April, but highest YTD are the financials (XLF), with the REITs (VNQ), S&P 500 (IVV), and Emerging Equity (EEM) rounding out the top 4. Was April just a pause in risk, or the start of a trend? Comment!
Thursday, March 29, 2012, 12:05 PM With risk poking its head out again, emerging market currencies slide, led today by South Africa's rand (SZR) and the Hungarian forint. Both country's kept interest rates on hold last night, with South Africa's central bank sounding a bit dovish. Also hit are the Mexican peso (FXM) and India's rupee (ICN) 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Monday, March 26, 2012, 10:39 AM Capital in search of returns is pouring into frontier market currencies, sending a host of them up more than double digits against the greenback this year. Many of these countries have not just high interest rates, but also hard commodities which get more dear as the balance sheets of Western central banks power upward. Comment! [Global & FX]
Saturday, July 16, 2011, 8:40 AM So you decided Treasurys aren't safe due to low yields and dollar concerns; now what? Some money managers are increasing their international bond exposure. ETFs to consider include CEW, EMLC, WIP and ITIP. 5 Comments [U.S. Economy, Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Monday, May 23, 2011, 2:55 PM It's RORO (risk-on-risk-off), not fundamentals, that dominates currency markets and makes them trade "through the looking glass," aruges HSBC's David Bloom. Analyzed in this fashion, the lifting of the U.S. debt ceiling - averting a crisis and thus being good news - should lead to a sell-off in the greenback. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, April 8, 2011, 8:48 AM Investors pulled another $1.15B out of muni bond funds last week, the 21st straight week of outflows totalling more than $30B. Equity funds took in $7.7B, led by emerging market equities at $2.7B - the fourth-largest weekly tally in almost 20 years. 1 Comment
Monday, March 7, 2011, 8:53 AM South Africa becomes the latest country to wave the white flag in the "currency wars," its finance minister crediting the strong rand (SZR) with crimping inflation pressures. No longer able to ignore rising prices, nations are abandoning rhetoric and policies meant to stifle currency appreciation. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 9:50 AM Another sign that emerging economies have given up the "currency war" to battle inflation, the ruble moves to a 2 year high vs. the dollar after Russia's central bank widens the currency's trading band. The Emerging Currency Fund (CEW +0.2%) hangs tough, despite exposure to MENA. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, February 28, 2011, 3:11 PM Confounding conventional wisdom about being a safe haven, the dollar gives up significant ground against almost all other currencies in the wake of Middle East events. Hints of QEIII in the face of surging prices and near-record manufacturing strength isn't helping. UUP -0.4%. UDN +0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX]
