Our read on UDN
In short
The short-dollar trade without the leverage. Since 2007 it has tracked an index that sits short the greenback via currency futures, at a fee well under what inverse funds usually charge.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks to track the performance of the Deutsche Bank Short USD Currency Portfolio Index–Excess Return by taking short positions in related currency futures contracts.
