Currency Conversion for Investors
March 14, 2026
For international investors, exchange rates can make more difference in returns than asset performance itself.
The impact of exchange rates on investments
Practical example: You bought US stocks when the dollar was at R$5.00. The S&P 500 rose 10%, but the dollar fell to R$4.50. Your return in BRL: -1%.
The opposite is also true: if the dollar rises, your BRL return is amplified.
