In the past, currency was often assumed to act as a natural portfolio offset. Today, long held assumptions are being challenged as correlations evolve and policy dynamics shift. Canadian investors with foreign equity exposure can be impacted by currency movements, even when underlying markets perform as expected.  To frame currency risk more deliberately, investors evaluate hedging costs, volatility, correlation behaviour and market regimes. Understanding the application of strategic frameworks and dynamic hedging is essential. Together, these steps support more intentional management of currency risk across market cycles.  Join Jafer Naqvi, Managing Director, Head of Client Portfolio Management, TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM), and Mathieu Côté, Vice President, Institutional Client Portfolio Management, TDAM, as they explore how evolving market dynamics are reshaping approaches to currency risk management. Highlights include: 02:50 How Canadian investors create currency exposure through foreign equity allocations 07:05 Why historical currency-equity relationships may be less reliable 08:10 The four core factors shaping a currency hedging framework 12:00 How dynamic hedging can respond to changing market conditions 16:55 Applying a repeatable, strategic approach to currency risk For a full transcript in English and French, please visit the TD Asset Management Podcast page: https://www.td.com/ca/en/asset-management/insights/podcast  Email any questions or ideas for future episodes to: td.tdamtalks@td.comPlease follow "TD Asset Management" on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/showcase/tdassetmanagement/   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Think of how much more freedom you might have in retirement if you started building steady investment habits now—that's the idea behind Coast FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early).
