Our read on FXA
CThe Aussie corner of Invesco's CurrencyShares family: a grantor trust running since 2006 that tracks the price of the Australian dollar itself, not a basket of stocks that happen to be exposed to it.
The Trust is designed to reflect the U.S.-dollar price of the Australian Dollar, plus accrued interest when applicable, after Trust expenses and liabilities. It is a passive vehicle that holds Australian Dollar deposits and does not use derivatives.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.40% a year, the same as the euro, yen, pound and franc CurrencyShares trusts and the going rate across single-currency funds.
- Live since June 2006, so it has traded through commodity booms, busts and rate cycles instead of arriving with the latest theme.
- One job, plainly stated: a grantor trust designed to track the price of the Australian dollar. No stock proxies, no index committee, no basket to reweight.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded. Spreads can run wider than in the big currency funds, and larger orders can move the price.
- Payouts are irregular, not a monthly or quarterly rhythm you can pencil in.
- Sits in the lower half of the single-currency group on our review; the euro, pound, yen and franc trusts rate higher, mostly on how easily they trade.
