Many investors and traders are already making money from strong Australian dollar, but we do not want to talk about currency traders in this article. Instead, here are some interesting strategies, which you may consider in the current strong AUD environment. Almost all our strategies relate to 1 simple principal, invest in US assets while AUD is very strong. 1. Open up a USD trading account for US shares One way to make profit from strong AUD is trading US shares, however, brokerage firms in Australia charge way too much commission when comes to international trading. A much smarter way is to open up an online trading account either in US or Europe for you to start trading US shares. Their commissions range from $3 per trade to $20 per trade, which is significantly lower than using Australian online brokers dealing with international shares. 2. Don't know where to start? Buy US Index The 2nd way is to invest in Dow Jones or Nasdaq or Russell 2000 index. There are over 20,000 companies to choose from on America exchanges, plus the time-zone difference, it can be a daunting task just to start and also doing research. Index is the best representation of the market, and you can trade index easily over CFD or online broking firms. 3. Buy houses in United States Properties in the US are now offering fantastic value with attractive returns. It is common to see rental yield now exceeding 10% in the United States. Some states will rebound much faster than other states, and when the economy recovers, you can make potentially 3 kinds of returns: 1) From rental yield, 2) From appreciation in property and 3) From appreciation of USD against AUD in the medium term. Australian investors is now one of the top 5 fast rising groups investing into US properties, they have been busy buying resorts in Florida, houses in Atlanta and ski resorts in Colorado. 4. Open USD & CAD accounts Use strong AUD to open USD and Canadian Dollar accounts. CAD has been rising against USD as well, however, it has also declined against AUD as US being its main trading partner. Canadian dollar accounts now provide around 3% interest, which is slightly higher than US bank accounts. Canada is also the world's largest mining producer, so rise in oil, gold and others will also its currency to appreciate. 5. Invest into a US based farm My friend mentioned this idea to me and I thought it is right on the money. US has one of the world's best agriculture industry, with abundant production. Australian agriculture industry has been suffering due to drought, flooding and rising AUD which makes its products losing competitiveness; so investing in a farm in US is actually a smart option especially when the food price is increasing worldwide. 6. Invest in an oil field in US My friend is a smart investor, while building up his share portfolio, he is also involved in the actual oil field industry. He has bought several acres of lands in historical oil producing towns in Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. This is another way to make good profit, he mentioned there is actually quite a few oil fields for sale in the American southern states now, and it is quite common for Americans to own an oil field as an investment. 7. Exchange Traded Funds Maybe you just want to be a regular investor. Why not considering over 3,000 ETFs listed on US (compared to less than 20 in Australia). America has very sophisticated ETFs market, and the choice is beyond your imagination. These ETFs can range from the traditional index-tracking to region or industry specific ETFs such as REITs, biotechnology or China ETFs. 8. Collect American Gold Coins My friend is a big collector in gold coins. Each year, various types of gold coins have been produced and issued in the US. Some are issued by the Federal Government, others are issued by the State Government. This is an interesting concept which never occurred to me before, but by collecting these gold coins, you can potentially make profit from rising gold price and as a collectible. 9. Invest in American mutual funds Many American mutual funds do allow foreign investors. There is a much wider range of funds to choose from. For example, I had invested in Latin American and China mutual funds through US mutual funds, as these are not widely available in Australia. My friend had also invested in Privatization Fund and Oil & Gas sector mutual funds through US institution, as they are not available in Australia as well. 10. Traveler Cheques One of the easiest way to expose to currency movements is using traveler cheques. There are no limits to the amount as bank accounts often require a sizable deposit and ongoing bank fees. Some credit cards also allow you to exchange points into traveler cheques, so that is another good way to start make some savings in USD or Euro. All these strategies are built on projected rebound of global economy, which technically speaking; will see the rebound of USD in the medium term. I personally like the idea in investing into actual investment such as property, shares or mutual funds as you are also investing into an asset and not just speculating on currencies. Business investments are certainly worth considering as the average cost is not a lot and you can actually apply for financing (loans) to buy into these assets. I met a number of Australians now living in the US and they had expanded their business quite considerably over the past 3 years, one of them now owns 10 farms in the United States already. So here are some interesting ideas for you to consider and utilize our strong Australian Dollar. |
