Why Invest in the Foreign Exchange?

Forex

eTech Money gives individual investors access to a market that has been dominated by multinational banks and corporations for decades. This is a market that many of the world’s largest banks, money managers and traders consider to be one of the finest markets available for trading and money management opportunities. Why?

  • The Forex market is the direct pathway to capitalize on the perceived strengths and weaknesses of countries or regions as well as interest rate differentials.
  • Currencies are also known for maintaining strong trend characteristics in both up and down markets, through wars, inflation and recessions.
  • Forex offers the ability to leverage one’s assets. Unlike most stocks traded on U.S. exchanges that require an up-tick in price in order to sell short, Forex trading rules make selling short as easy as buying.
  • There are much fewer price gaps in Forex than the stock market because as the Forex market is traded 24 hours a day, generally from Sundays at 5:00 pm Eastern time until Friday at 5:00 pm Eastern time
  • Due to Forex's unparalleled liquidity, trade execution slippage tends to be less of an issue for large traders when compared to most other markets.
  • Forex is an asset class, therefore a Forex portfolio is uncorrelated to directional investments in stocks and bonds, which can add diversification to an investor’s portfolio, as well as act as a potential hedge against future stock market and real estate market crashes, etc.
