The idea behind the ETF is that it is a +EV long term holding based on the forward premium anomaly:
[ QUOTE ]
Empirical evidence shows that currencies that are at a forward premium and that, correspondingly, have a low interest rate, actually tend, on average, to depreciate, not appreciate, as the theory of interest parity conditions predicts. Similarly, currencies that are at a forward discount and that, correspondingly, have a high interest rate, tend, on average, to appreciate, not depreciate. This anomaly, then, implies that an investor who enters a carry trade is quite likely to make predictable profits from two sources: the interest rate differential between two currencies and the appreciation of the high-interest-rate currency that was originally bought at a forward discount.

Bull [censored] statistical artifact? Maybe--I sure don't know the answer. I'm certainly not going to invest in this ETF, but I thought it would be worth discussing.
