40GBP I hope this is typo. ;) If we are talking about small sums of money, there is no point to hedge or split or whatever. Personally, I would never chase currency speculations. If she has to work and live in UK and pay the prices there, speculating on US$ appreciating over GBP is a folly. Especially when GBP has already fallen. You are just momentum chasing and it never ends well. In general, if a person have interests in two countries - like living in one and planning to return to another - it is a good idea to do some kind of portfolio balancing between the two. Like 50%/50% in both countries and both currencies. Or some other percentage breakdown. Then if percentages change due to currency fluctuations, it may be worthwhile to rebalance once a year or so. Still even with this, one has to keep in mind tax issues, which I am no expert in. Good luck
