Meanwhile, during the current crisis, losses in currency-hedged funds like DBEM have been buffered as the dollar rallied. With over $85 billion in assets under management between EEM and VWO, I'm still surprised that the currency-hedged version of these funds, DBEM, only has $4.5 million in assets.
ETNs are structured investment products that are issued by a major bank or provider as senior debt notes. This differs from an ETF which consists of an actual security or sometimes commodity or currency derivative such as futures, forwards, and options. When an investor purchases an ETN, he or she is purchasing a debt product similar to a bond. The terms of the debt contract are determined by the structure of the ETN. When an investor purchases an ETF, he is purchasing an asset like a stock or index. Because ETNs are backed by a bank with a high credit rating, they are pretty secure products. However the notes are not without credit risk, just a lower level.
