  • 3 TSX Stocks to Hedge Canadian Dollar Weakness
    May 20, 2026, 4:57 PM EDT. Canadian dollar volatility can impact portfolios, but some TSX-listed stocks provide natural currency hedges. H&R REIT (TSX:HR.UN) offers a dividend yield of 5.8% and benefits from U.S. property rental income across North America, offsetting a weaker loonie. Fiera Capital (TSX:FSZ), a Montreal-based asset manager with $160.2 billion in assets under management, delivers a 7.9% dividend yield and improved profitability despite market volatility.
