    Thanks.  So in reality the ETF currency risk isn’t substantially different from the funds I’m invested in now? 
    There would only be additional currency costs if you bought an ETF with a foreign trading currency, or which distributes income in a foreign currency. This is avoidable.

    So buying one on HL that is Acc and priced in GBP mitigates that?
