Currency in the News


An Overview of Currency
The currency market is the world’s largest and most liquid market, with average
daily turn-over of roughly $4 trillion*.
Many hedge funds and institutions have used currency investing as a means of
hedging certain portfolio exposures against currency risks and opportunistically
trading across currencies.
Many foreign currencies have historically shown a  low correlation to U.S. equity
and fixed income markets.
Currency investing offers a variety of trading strategies.

A Convenient Way to Access Currencies: CurrencyShares®
For many years, hedge funds and institutions have used currencies as a way of
hedging
the
dollar
through
seeking
currency
exposure
through
the
forex
market, which could be challenging for advisors and individuals to utilize. Now,
advisors and investors have a potentially efficient way of hedging dollar
exposure, and taking advantage of investment opportunities in the currency
markets.
Rydex CurrencyShares
®
offer a convenient, cost-effective way to gain
exposure to nine currencies.


Potential CurrencyShares
®
Uses
Provide an efficient means of gaining exposure to a currency
Can be used as a tool for currency hedging
Can be used as part of a tactical trading strategy, individually
and collectively.
Currency trading is used by hedge funds and institutions to hedge foreign
exchange, and to take positions, long and short, in currencies based on
expectations. 
Investors can be long the highest yielding currency, and short the lowest yielding
currency (i.e., the “Carry-Trade”).


The Role of Currencies
Diversifying
Cash
Just as investors diversify their international stock and bond portfolios to reduce risk,
investors can also diversify their cash allocations.
Alpha (or
Opportunistic)
Strategies
i.e.
Popular
Carry
Trade,
where
investors
seek
to
profit
on
the
interest
rate
differential
between two currencies. A simple version of the trade can be achieved by purchasing
a high-yielding currency and shorting a low-yielding one.
Speculation
Investors can make calls on the future value of any given pair of currencies. For
example, an investor who believes the U.S. dollar will weaken compared to the euro
may choose to go long the  Euro, while an investor who thinks the euro is relatively
overvalued may choose to short the trust instead.
International
Hedging
Buying
international
stocks
and
bonds
inherently
introduces
some
exposure
to
fluctuating currency values, which can significantly impact returns for U.S. investors.
A Currency
Alpha
Strategy
is
an
opportunistic
strategy
is
which
investors
seek
to
profit
from
a
currency
market
move,
as
opposed
to
a
hedging
strategy
in
which an investor is attempting to reduce risk.
Currency investing is subject to several risks. Several factors may affect the price of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar including: National debt
levels
and
trade
deficits,
domestic
and
foreign
inflation
rates
and
investors'
expectations
concerning
inflation
rates,
domestic
and
foreign
interest
rates
and
investors' expectations concerning interest rates, Investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and currency funds; and , Global or regional
political,
economic
or
financial
events
and
situations.
When
the
price
of
the
currency
declines,
an
investor
will
be
adversely
affected.
Short
selling
involves
increased risk and costs, including paying more for a security than it received from its sale and the risk of unlimited losses.

Benefits of Currency in an ETP Format
Accessibility
Access the currency markets through a traditional brokerage account. Shares are bought and
sold on the NYSE Arca just like other exchange listed securities.
Actual
Currency
Holdings
The foreign currencies are deposited in segregated depository accounts at JP Morgan
(London).
Exchange-
Traded
CurrencyShares are bought and sold on the NYSE Arca, providing an efficient means of
incorporating tactical strategies or hedging exposures. CurrencyShares are eligible for margin.
Liquidity
CurrencyShares are liquid. They can be purchased in the secondary market. Shares of each
Trust can be created or redeemed in baskets of 50,000 units by Authorized Participants (APs).
Choice
With nine different products covering the world’s major currencies, investors can easily
customize their trades to meet their investment objectives.
Transparency
CurrencyShares®
are
grantor
trusts,
and
they
hold
actual
foreign
currency
deposits
as
their
sole asset as opposed to money market debt instruments or derivatives contracts.
The assets of each Trust back the shares. The Trust does not hold or employ derivatives.


CurrencyShares Process
AP delivers currency to Trustee (principal plus three days of accrued interest) which, in exchange, provides for the delivery
of capital shares of the Trust to the AP’s DTC account
Depository account is comprised of two separate accounts: one for principal and the other for interest-in order for the
grantor trust to remain an entirely passive structure
At month end, total accrued interest is withdrawn from the interest account, trust expenses are satisfied, and any interest in
excess of the amount required to cover Trust expenses is distributed on a pro-rate basis to shareholders
All accounting takes place in native currency to nullify the FX impact


CurrencyShares Performance (as of 3/31/2011)
¹
Partial year returns are cumulative, not
annualized. Performance results are short-term
and may not provide an adequate basis for
evaluating the performance potential of the fund
over varying market conditions or economic
cycles.
Performance displayed represents past
performance, which is no guarantee of
future results. Investment returns and
principal value will fluctuate so that when
shares are redeemed, they may be worth
more or less than original cost. Total returns
reflect the reinvestment of all dividends.
Current performance may be lower or higher
than the performance data quoted. For up-
to-date performance, including performance
current to the most recent month-end, visit
our web site at www.currencyshares.com.
The NAV and Market Close Performance may
differ. A major reason for the difference is that
timing discrepancies can exist between the NAV,
which is calculated using the WM/Reuters Closing
Spot Rate, and Market Close, which is calculated
using Closing Price (last trade). The WM/Reuters
Closing Spot Rate is the exchange rate of the U.S.
dollar and the applicable foreign currency as
determined by WM/Reuters as of 4:00 PM London
Time.
Prior
to
11/13/2008
NAV
for
each
CurrencyShares Trust except the
CurrecyShares Russian Ruble Trust, was
calculated using the Noon Buying Rate, as
determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New
York.
For
additional
information
please
see
each trust's prospectus.


CurrencyShares are subject to a number of risks and may not be suitable for all investors. 
The value of the shares of each CurrencyShares Trust relates directly to the value of the foreign currency held by the
particular Trust. This creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of the applicable foreign
currency. Accordingly, a decline in the price of that currency will have an adverse effect on the value of the shares of
the particular CurrencyShares Trust. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline in the price of a foreign
currency include national debt levels and trade deficits, domestic and foreign interest rates, investment and trading
activities of institutions and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations.
Shares of each CurrencyShares Trust can be bought and sold through a broker; as such, investors may be required to
pay brokerage commissions in connection with a purchase or sale.
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the shares will develop or be maintained.
The risks associated with each of the CurrencyShares Trusts are not identical because of differences in the economies
underlying each CurrencyShares Trust, as well as other considerations.
Read the prospectus for more complete information on each risk.

If there is no consistent mathematical relationship between the value of the two assets, then the correlation coefficient is 0.
