The currency in which we want to carry out our investment is something to bear in mind when paying into an international investment fund, since it directly affects both the yield we obtain and the foreign exchange risk that might be assumed. International investment funds usually offer different options (known as classes), with several differences, including the currency of investment for each class. As well as being able to choose the currency in which we want our investment to be carried out, there is often an additional option for that currency (for example, the dollar) to be hedged in order to eliminate the risk of the possible depreciation of the currency in which we are carrying out the investment.
