Our read on UUP
COne ticker, one job: be long the dollar. Since 2007 UUP has used ICE Dollar Index futures to track the greenback against six major currencies, putting a macro trade that normally needs a futures account inside a brokerage account.
The Fund seeks to track positive or negative changes in the Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index—Excess Return over time. It primarily uses long positions in ICE U.S. Dollar Index futures contracts, while holding Treasury and cash-management instruments for related purposes.
Why people hold it
- The mechanism is pure: long ICE U.S. Dollar Index futures, so the fund moves with the dollar against the euro, yen, pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.invesco.com
- Launched in 2007, it has run through dollar booms and slumps, making it one of the longest-lived currency funds on the tape.
- Tradability is its strongest suit: an actively traded name where getting in and out rarely means wrestling the spread.
- Futures carry the currency exposure while Treasury and cash-management instruments sit behind them as collateral.
Worth knowing
- 0.78% a year is a real hurdle, and well above what plain broad-market index trackers in the same cohort charge.
- It is a commodity pool built on futures, not a standard stock fund, so tax forms and reporting work differently.
- Currency moves are the entire story here: no earnings, no dividend stream, and distributions are occasional rather than regular.
