Multi-currency expansion: Manage global assets hassle-free

Following the earlier introduction of funds in RMB, AUD, CAD, EUR, and GBP, we are thrilled to announce a significant expansion of our multi-currency fund offerings, adding Japanese Yen (JPY) funds to the platform this month.

This expansion goes beyond our existing HKD and USD offerings, providing even greater flexibility in managing your foreign currency holdings and aligning your investment portfolio with your future financial goals. Aligning assets with future financial liabilities—like overseas tuition, property payments, or expenditures—helps mitigate exchange rate risks and enhances predictability in your long-term wealth planning.

With zero-fee currency conversions within Endowus, investors can efficiently and cost-effectively allocate capital.

Managing currency exposure of your investment portfolios

At Endowus, we do not advocate taking directional currency bets, as attempting to predict foreign exchange movements introduces unnecessary risk. 

A long-term study by Dimensional Fund Advisors analysing data from 1985 to 2019, confirms that monthly currency returns—whether for the Japanese yen or the British pound— “are largely unpredictable and not reliably different from zero on average”. So, trying to hedge based on forecasts doesn’t add value.

Therefore, currency selection for investments and hedging decisions should be driven by your financial goals and anticipated liabilities rather than speculative FX views. Proper alignment can enhance portfolio stability and safeguard purchasing power over time.

For Hong Kong-based investors who have HKD spending, debt obligations or other liabilities, they should consider matching assets (savings and investments) in HKD to minimise unnecessary FX exposure.

Conversely, if you have large or recurring expenses in foreign currencies, such as children’s overseas tuition or property mortgage abroad, you can consider aligning the investments with your anticipated spending to manage potential currency risk by matching assets and currencies to your future liabilities.
