Most investors believe the currency their investments are shown in actually impacts their returns.
But what if that assumption is completely wrong?
In this video, we break down one of the most common misconceptions among expats and global investors. You’ll see why the currency you buy or sell in doesn’t change the real value of your investments and how exchange rates actually work behind the scenes.
We walk through a simple example using identical ETFs listed in different currencies to show what really happens to your money over time.
