Deutsche Bank Unveils New UCITS III Currency Fund

Published: 22-Sep-2009

Provides an access to currency market returns for institutional investors and is available in EUR, USD and GBP

Deutsche Bank has launched UCITS III (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) compliant currency fund, a benchmark index product which offers institutional investors access to currency market returns.

Reportedly, the fund, called the DB Platinum Currency Returns Plus Fund, offers exposure to the Deutsche Bank Currency Returns + Index (DBCR+) and is available in EUR, USD and GBP.

According to the bank, the DBCR+ Index has been developed to capture the bulk of currency market returns by investing equally into three core investment strategies that include: carry- exploits differences in interest rates across G10 and emerging markets economies; momentum- exploits G10 currencies' tendency to trend over the short-to medium-term; and valuation- exploits G10 currencies' tendency to revert to purchasing power parity over the long-term.

Zar Amrolia, global head of foreign exchange at Deutsche Bank, said: “Increasingly we see investors looking for convenient ways to access foreign exchange markets. Currency markets are increasingly being appreciated and accepted as a significant source of alpha that is portable, uncorrelated and sustainable. The DBCR+ Index is fast becoming a benchmark for currency investing and offering it in a UCITS III format gives currency investors increased options for accessing these returns.”

Manfred Schraepler, head of fund structuring at global markets structuring, Deutsche Bank, said: “The currency market is by far the largest financial market in the world and therefore it is an important asset class to include in our comprehensive offering of systematically managed funds, and we are pleased to allow investors to access such a broad investment strategy in currency.”
