    You seem to be conflating two issues.

    One is currency risk and valuations, why do you think the euro is weak at the moment, it is compared to a year or two ago but problems within the eurozone mean that it could be much weaker next year.

    If you're looking at this for the short term then investment isn't the way to go, would have to be savings. I don't believe there is a short term option for savings paying anything like a good return for euros, if it were me I would cash in now and save or invest the money in sterling, assuming you are uk resident.
