Evaluating Currency Management Approaches

Easy Currency Management Strategic Vs Tactical

An investment manager at Global Equity Partners is evaluating their currency management approach for an international portfolio. The firm typically employs strategic currency management by establishing a long-term hedging strategy that aligns with its investment outlook over multiple years.

However, due to recent volatility in the foreign exchange market, the manager is considering taking advantage of short-term currency movements to enhance returns. This shift indicates a potential tactical approach where the manager seeks to capture short-term gains rather than adhering strictly to a long-term strategy.

Based on this scenario, what type of currency management approach is the investment manager most likely considering?
