In this episode, I break down the implications of using Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs) and currency-hedged ETFs to invest in US stocks versus buying US shares directly and managing currency risk yourself. Using Tesla and Apple examples, I show how CDR performance can differ from the underlying US stock due to hedging costs, tracking errors, and market liquidity. CDRs are bank-issued derivative products (notably from CIBC and BMO) designed to let Canadians buy foreign equities in CAD without converting currencies. I cover key trade-offs including the low volume, potential pricing imperfections, and limited trading hours versus US markets, and why options liquidity on CDRs can be too thin for strategies like covered calls. I also discuss taxes and dividends in Canada, including foreign dividend treatment and the RRSP/RRIF exemption. Finally, I walk through how to view currency exposure in an Interactive Brokers margin account, and the overnight interest costs associated with not converting funds. I believe currency risk still exists whether you use currency adjusted products, or handle it directly.
