Simplify Currency Strategy ETF (FOXY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks capital appreciation by taking long and short positions in foreign currencies through forward contracts, swaps, and futures contracts; it employs a carry strategy on eight emerging market currency pairs against the U.S. dollar, holding long positions in the four highest interest rate currencies and short positions in the four lowest, while applying a mean-reversion strategy to six G10 currency pairs, holding long positions in the three with the strongest yield momentum and short positions in the three weakest.
