MSR Pound Sterling – Exposure, Dollar Weighted Index
The MSR Pound Sterling Dollar Weighted Exposure Index shows the total return of being long one British Pound Currency futures contract (the “current” contract, which is the most liquid) denominated in US Dollars through time. This is “dollar weighted” because an investor can simply divide the number of dollars they want to invest by the current dollar value of the British Pound contract and own that number of contracts for perpetuity. The “cash equivalent” version of this index will closely track the US dollar based total return of investing in the Pound Sterling in the spot (cash) foreign exchange markets.
