You should get better responses on questions about the mutual fund universe
over at misc.invest.mutual-funds. I posted a whole slew of these funds
(along with links to articles about currency funds) there 1 1/2 years ago.
There are other people over there who can offer more suggestions. As I
recall, there was a thread about the merits of hedging currency fluctuations
as well.

My prior post on foreign currency funds (may need updating, e.g. Potomac is
now Direxion):

This is a great fund... I've owned it in the past, actually thinking of

Hope this helps,

Default Are there any curreny funds or ETFs?

Are there any curreny funds or ETFs in the U.S. appropriate for a
long-term mutual fund investor? Essentially, trying to partially hedge
the risk of a falling dollar.
Thanks.
