Investment in Euros from the UK

Hi
I have euros in a UK bank 'euro account'. There are no interests, it's just for me not to keep them at home.
I do not want to exchange the euros into pounds sterling, as it would not be convenient at all right now.
I would like to find an account with interests or to invest the euros.
Somebody mentioned exchanging them into dollars and do investment via a broker. No idea how...
Thanks, any advice would be appreciated.

    I had a similar question recently so maybe this thread can help you.

    The Fineco bank looks most interesting to me. I'm trying to find out what ETFs they have available but can't find out on the webpage.

    It sounds as if you don't know much about investments. It would therefore be high risk if you did invest your money, regardless of what currency the investments would be in. If you truly believe investments are an option for you, you should do a lot of reading before you actually make any investments. Or pay an independent professional to advice you accordingly.

    Thanks.
    Could finding - and trusting - a broker be something to consider?
