Schroders said the move was to "remove the currency affects of investing overseas".
Schroders’ managing director of UK intermediary, Robin Stoakley, said: "We have launched these new unit classes to give investors a wide variety of choice in the market and to help them protect against currency volatility.
"The Schroders’ hedged unit classes aim to remove the effect of exchange rate movements so the investor experiences only the performance of the underlying portfolio. This means investors can access some of our most popular funds while mitigating currency volatility."
