Because of the fact that most of the brokers here offer most of their etfs from the London SE and there are extra costs involved ( with the broker I use anyway) incurred through the likes of "Overseas brokers fees" and "Foreign transaction custody charge" when using exchanges other than Dublin or London it means I'm basically stuck buying etfs traded in stirling.
I'm ignorant whether this is to my advantage or not and what are the factors involved. I'd appreciate any advice on
1) should I incur the extra charges and diversify and buy some ETFS in Euro from foreign exchanges?
2) what is the general outlook on stirling v euro?
3) any links articles so that I can learn a little of how the currency issue related to holding investments?
Thx.
