Investing outside the UK

Why not do it through UK based Investment or Unit trusts ?

From the look of it, you're absolutely right about the exchange rate on the dollar. On the funds thing, though, I know they can be a great way of investing but personally I tend towards individually selected shares. So, do you know of any brokers who give you access to markets outside of London?

Thanks, Steve

In the end, I came across an article listing some recommendations for stockbrokers who offer overseas shares:

I suspect that the pound may fall further than the dolar, but slower :-)

I'd be interested to know if you can invest directly in India, I've heard you have to go through some weird foreign owenership structures.

I'll let you know if I find anything but the best foreign dealing services I've found so far still only offer a limited selection of countries. None that I've found allow you to trade in India and the closest I can get to China is Hong Kong, which may be good enough anyway.

Cheers, Steve
