A global fund that does not hedge foreign currency risk benefits from a weakening Canadian dollar, as the value of foreign investments increases in Canadian dollar terms. The feedback from the document states:
"Global mutual funds are attractive in that they can provide a hedge against a decline in the relative value of the Canadian dollar… It is important for mutual fund sales representatives to know whether their global mutual funds hedge foreign exchange risk, because some clients will want to bear that risk themselves, while others will not."
