The advancing concern about the United States dollar’s merit has become too much to miss. Gold has risen exceeding $1 Authentic Craig Mager Jersey ,000 an ounce; investors desperate for energy exposure have kept natural gas in steep contango all year; and every other day we seem to get a call or an e-mail asking about foreign currency funds such as PowerShares DB US Dollar Bearish (UDN).
We grasp the fretting. Various emergency measures over the past year pumped very large quantities of dollars into the financial system, and they’re more likely to cause inflation now that we no longer have panicked investors general clamoring for the safe harbor of the dollar. Chinese central bank officials dropped hints for much of the past year that they would like to diversify away from Treasury bonds, and recent big investments in commodities and mines show they might be far-reaching this time. Even the new Japanese Minister of Finance made comments that implied Japan may no longer suppress its currency against the dollar to support exporters. Without the artificial support of the major East Asian currencies, we couldn’t say how greatly the dollar might fall.
This news looks worrying Authentic Denzel Perryman Jersey , but we are not giving up on the currency yet. The Federal Reserve has commanded to shrink overall money supply through most of 2009 by withdrawing some of the economic supports and pulling back freshly minted dollars that merely sat in banks’ vaults to ward off panic. No matter what Chinese officials say, with $2 trillion and counting in reserves, they simply have to keep buying Treasury bonds. There’s no other market big enough to meet their incredible investment needs without severely distorting prices. Chinese imports of copper and other industrial commodities have already fallen as prices soared in the past few months. As for the Japanese Minister, he has already tried to take back his comments Authentic Hunter Henry Jersey , saying instead that he was merely content with current exchange rates.
We expect that the dollar will likely drop over the next decade relative to other currencies, as the euro and major emerging currencies displace some of the massive Treasury bond reserves held by central banks worldwide. However, we feel that the devaluation is likely to be fairly subdued and could take years to finalize. Investing in the fall of the dollar could easily be a volatile bet that pays off too little, too late. In fact Authentic Kyzir White Jersey , after its recent tear downward, we would not be surprised if the buck bounces back slightly in the near term as stock markets cool down their remarkable rise.
All those caveats aside, we established to draw up an example portfolio for anyone with a more bearish belief on the world’s biggest currency. When we kept hearing questions about foreign currency funds such as UDN or the WisdomTree and CurrencyShares lineups, we worried that investors seeking to profit from a dollar downturn might be barking up the wrong tree. These funds Authentic Justin Jones Jersey , although the most direct bets against the dollar in the ETF universe, are merely cash accounts with an overlay of foreign currency exposure. They will not provide much economic return aside from changes in exchange rate and do little good as a small supplementary holding in a typical portfolio. So what if your Chinese yuan fund goes up 15% if your larger U.S. bond and equity holdings have collapsed?
Instead, investors should diversify the weightings of their entire portfolio to move away from the dollar while maintaining similar overall exposures to stocks and longer-term bonds. Currency funds have their place, but mostly as a replacement for cash that would otherwise be held in an U.S. dollar-denominated money market fund. Moving more capital into foreign stocks and foreign bonds will position a portfolio to soar if the dollar falls but not sacrifice the returns generated by these risky assets even if the greenback remains solid.
Our Dollar-Proof portfolio still contains a hefty 58% allocation to global equities. However Authentic Rayshawn Jenkins Jersey , we cut down on our U.S. equity holdings relative to the Hands-Free model portfolio from our ETFInvestor newsletter and consolidated them into Vanguard Total Market ETF (VTI: 61.78, -0.04). This eliminates our overweighting of small caps, as they lack the foreign revenues that could cushion or even buttress U.S. large caps in case of a dollar decline, and they look a bit overvalued at the moment anyway. After the implausible returns of emerging-markets stocks in 2009 Authentic Dan Feeney Jersey , we also felt no need to overweight them relative to other foreign markets. Thus the two Vanguard ETFs based on the cap-weighted FTSE All-World ex-US indexes worked beautifully to fill out our sizable foreign equity stakes. We substantially overweighted international small-cap stocks, as they do the least trading in U.S. dollars, and we still love the long-term prospects of emerging-markets small caps.
Our fixed-income allocation got cut down to 20% from 25% in our Hands-Free portfolio and is split between domestic and international inflation-protected securities. Because a falling dollar probably means that central banks are dumping U.S. bonds and yields are rising (both due to inflation and higher real yields), we kept our TIPS distribution in a short-duration fund. We would have loved to add some foreign credit bonds to our portfolio Authentic Forrest Lamp Jersey , but that is unfortunately not possible with the ETFs available today. Instead, we shifted that extra 5% into our cash allocation, which we split between two currency ETFs that together cover a range of the biggest global currencies including the euro, yen Authentic Mike Williams Jersey , Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and Brazilian real.
Finally, we put a larger investment into commodity-related securities than our Hands-Free portfolio and took solely long positions to capture all of the gains if the dollar depreciates relative to hard assets. Gold trades for lofty prices Authentic Uchenna Nwosu Jersey , but it will certainly benefit if the dollar falls further, so we propose a 5 .
