Foreign Currency Effect

    0.02 sec.
Foreign Currency Effect
The gain or loss on an investment denominated in a foreign currency due to changes in the exchange rate. For example, a rising domestic currency will result in a loss in a foreign investment because each foreign currency unit converted will result in fewer domestic currency units. The opposite is true for a falling domestic currency or a rising foreign currency. Foreign currency effects theoretically do not occur with pegged currencies if the foreign currency is pegged to the domestic one or vice versa. See also: Foreign exchange risk, Sovereign risk.
