FX funds begin 2016 on a positive note
Parker FX Index meanders into positive territory in January
Foreign exchange funds tracked by the Parker FX Index kicked off the new year on an up note, achieving average returns of 0.68% in January.
The best performer managed a yield of 4.6% as diminished risk appetite amid concerns over China's growth benefited the dollar and those betting on gains in the greenback.
But, despite January's positive performance, returns measured over a 12-month horizon dropped into negative territory, as a lacklustre second half in 2015 dented results.
