FXC Profile
The Canadian Dollar Trust CurrencyShares with the ticker symbol FXC is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to track the performance of the Canadian dollar (CAD) against the U.S. dollar. The ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to the CAD without the need to engage in foreign exchange trading.
FXC is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective way for investors to invest in the CAD. The fund holds Canadian dollars in a deposit account and seeks to reflect the price of the CAD by changing the number of shares outstanding in the ETF based on the CAD/USD exchange rate.
The value of the FXC ETF is subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the CAD and USD, as well as other factors that can impact currency values, such as economic and political events. The ETF's expense ratio, which covers the fund's operating expenses, is relatively low compared to other currency ETFs.
Investors who are interested in investing in foreign currencies, such as the CAD, may find FXC to be a useful tool to gain exposure to the currency. However, it's important to keep in mind that currency markets can be volatile, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates can impact the value of an investment in FXC. As with any investment, investors should carefully consider their investment goals, risk tolerance, and other factors before investing in FXC or any other security.
