★ZSP:CA - Unhedged S&P 500 ETF Likely To Slide As CAD Appreciates
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"For Canadian investors holding unhedged S&P 500 ETFs like ZSP, a stronger Canadian dollar directly erodes their returns from US stocks. This means even if the S&P 500 performs well in US dollar terms, your portfolio could still lose value when converted back to CAD. It highlights the critical impact of currency movements on international investments."

The Big Market Report Take
So, if you're holding ZSP, that unhedged S&P 500 ETF, prepare for a bit of a drag. As the Canadian dollar strengthens, your US-dollar-denominated gains get clipped when converted back home. It's a classic currency play, and not one in your favor this time.
