About IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF (HFXI)

The IQ 50 Percent Hedged FTSE International ETF (HFXI) is an exchange-traded fund that aims to provide investors with exposure to international equities while hedging 50 percent of the currency risk associated with these investments. The fund tracks the performance of the FTSE Developed ex North America 50% Hedged to CAD Index, which includes large and mid-cap stocks from developed markets outside of North America. By hedging the currency risk, HFXI seeks to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on investor returns.

HFXI is designed to provide a diversified portfolio of international equities across various sectors and regions. The fund's holdings are selected based on their market capitalization and liquidity. With a focus on developed markets, HFXI offers investors exposure to companies in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions. This geographic diversification can help to spread risk and potentially enhance returns.
