Currency exposure

How much of the portfolio sits in each currency, whatever it is measured in.

In the demo portfolio 100% USD

How it is computed here

Taken from where each holding trades, derived from its ticker suffix, and grouped after normalising the odd ones — London quotes in pence, which is the same pound divided by a hundred.

Worked example

  1. Each holding's value is grouped by the currency it trades in.
  2. The demo is all in US dollars, so there is nothing to split. For a portfolio in euros holding US and Swiss shares, this is where the dollar and franc risk shows.

Demo portfolio: four invented companies, generated prices, measured by the real engine. Past returns do not predict future ones.

Where it misleads

It is a bet nobody decides. A euro portfolio with 70% in dollar-listed shares carries a 70% position on the dollar, and part of its volatility has nothing to do with the companies it picked.
