flag Australia’s top pension fund is hedging more U.S. investments amid expected dollar decline in 2026.

flag Australian Retirement Trust, Australia’s second-largest pension fund, is increasing hedging of its U.S. dollar assets in anticipation of a weaker dollar in 2026, driven by expected U.S. rate cuts and diverging global monetary policies. flag The fund, managing A$353 billion, maintains its A$53 billion U.S. stock holdings but is adjusting currency exposure, hedging more U.S. investments while reducing hedging on non-U.S. assets like Japanese equities. flag The shift reflects changing market dynamics, including U.S. policy signals favoring a weaker dollar and rising geopolitical uncertainty, prompting institutional investors to reassess currency risk amid global economic volatility.
