The fund’s focus on dynamic currency hedging and a 6.13% distribution yield have made it attractive, though recent volatility warrants close monitoring by investors.34

Its dynamic currency hedge, adjusted monthly, aims to reduce currency risk and volatility, offering a differentiated approach compared to traditional international small-cap funds.56
