Our read on USDU

ETF.net Research

CMost currency funds pick one foreign currency and ride it. USDU takes the dollar side against a whole basket, with a mandate to beat the Bloomberg Dollar Total Return Index rather than simply track it.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks total returns before fees and expenses that exceed the Bloomberg Dollar Total Return Index and provides broad exposure to the U.S. dollar against a basket of foreign currencies.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Broad dollar exposure in one ticker: the buck against a basket of foreign currencies, not a single pair like the CurrencyShares trusts (FXE, FXY, FXB) it sits beside.
  2. 02The stated goal is total return above the Bloomberg Dollar Total Return Index before fees, so the portfolio isn't locked into mirroring the index basket.
  3. 03Trading since 2013 in the familiar 1940 Act fund wrapper, at a few hundred million in assets with steady day-to-day volume.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Costs 0.50% a year against the 0.40% typical of its single-currency peers. The basket approach carries a premium.
  2. 02Pure currency exposure: it tracks the dollar's move against the basket in both directions, with no stock or bond returns underneath.
  3. 03Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, so this is a positioning tool rather than an income line.
