VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF Offers Currency-Hedged Exposure to US Competitors

The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat (AUD Hedged) ETF, trading on the ASX under the ticker MHOT, offers a currency-hedged approach to investing in competitively advantaged US companies.

This fund is designed for investors seeking to gain exposure to high-quality businesses with strong competitive positions and sustainable moats. The portfolio invests in a diversified range of 30 Morningstar Wide Moat stocks, which are expected to generate above-average returns over the long term.

The Australian dollar-hedged strategy aims to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on investors' returns. This means that when the AUD appreciates against the USD, the fund's value should not decrease as significantly as it would for a non-hedged US-focused investment.
