Wondered whether withe the $ dollar weakening against £ and reported mid term preference for a weaker dollar whether forum members are changing cash held in sipp/isa/gia form £ into $ at the moment ?

I believe T212 for example pay same interest on both £ & $ at present.

Same question for hedging - are people buying/looking at hedged etf's ie gspx sp500 or iwdg for a global hedged etf?

I don’t and and can’t because I’m on Vanguard but my gut feeling is more dollar weakening to come. Not by a huge amount but wouldn’t be surprised to see it back at last years high (£) of around £1.34 to £1.35.
