Our read on UDN
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.
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.
Why people hold it
- At 0.77%, it undercuts the median fee in its inverse-fund cohort, and the 0.95% charged by UltraShort peers EUO and YCS.
- Tracks an index rather than a daily leverage multiple, so there is no 2x compounding to unwind. A milder ride than the UltraShort names sharing its shelf.
- Trading since 2007, it has priced through multiple dollar cycles and ranks among the stronger all-round builds in its inverse peer group.
Worth knowing
- Structured as a commodity pool rather than a standard stock fund, so the tax paperwork can look different. Worth reading the prospectus first.invesco.com
- Moderately traded at a modest size, so limit orders earn their keep here.
- One driver runs the whole thing: the dollar against the currency futures it shorts. That is a directional call, not a diversifier.
