Liquidity indicators add a further view. There are 14,096,858 units on issue, and average daily trading volume is 13,809 units. Over the five sessions from 7 to 13 October 2026, daily volume ranged from 1,500 to 10,000 units, with 1,591 recorded on 13 October while the market was still open. The bid-offer range stood at $28.32 to $29.48, and the day range at $29.19 to $29.32. These figures change through the trading day and reflect market activity rather than the fund's holdings.

Closing Perspective

WXHG adds currency hedging to the carbon-screened WXOZ portfolio at a 0.10% fee, through a single underlying holding. Its distributions fall once a year in July, and trading volume is very light. These facts describe the structure and do not forecast outcomes.
