GBP v USD performance over the past 6 months

@artg There are currency-hedged ETFs but you need to have a clear idea of what it is you’re doing and why. The pound could easily keep falling.

@artg If the £ continues to fall against the $, you'd want $ investments as when you sell them you'd benefit from the drop in £.

Case in point, SPY is down 13.81% over the last year, but if you invested in VUSA which is traded in £ you'd be up 4.2%. (VUSA tracks S&P 500).
