A foreign currency fund is a fund in a currency other than the contract currency. If the contract currency is the euro, funds in currencies other than the euro (e.g. Swiss francs) are therefore foreign currency funds. The result of invest­ments in foreign currency funds depends not only on the exchange rate trends of the invest­ments held by the fund, but also on the devel­opment of the exchange rate for the corre­sponding currency (in the present example: euro or Swiss franc).
