Hi Guys, I'm having trouble trying to find the iShares S&P 500 (AUD Hedged) ETF from your portal (ASX:IHVV). Would it be possible to make it available to subscribers? Given that IHVV has been helped by the AUD appreciation (against the USD) recently, it has outperformed IVV (YTD performance). However, after the last round of central bank meetings, I wonder if IVV will start to catch up. Any thoughts? Thanks, Angela
Hi Angela,
Firstly, for subscribers not familiar with the iShares S&P 500 AUD Hedged ETF (IHVV), and its unhedged cousin the IVV ETF the performance difference in 2026, as you alluded to, has been caused by the strong Australian Dollar which has advanced from ~66.6c to more than 72c so far this year, a more than 8% headwind for the unhedged version.
To specifically answer your question comes down to the movements of the Australian Dollar. We are bullish the $A which suggests the IHVV ETF will continue to outperform but we stress MM are not currency traders.
In terms of the ETFs available on the MM site, we’ve added it in, however the data is limited. We are actually in the process of looking at other data vendors to expand our coverage of ETFs.
