Yes ... and no.

Mutual Funds are notorious for the fees that they charge, Please check the prospectus carefully. Management Fees, Incentive Fees, Transaction Fees, Entry Fees, Exit Fees. Mutual Funds are all about FEES.

Also if you are taking the view that the US$ will continue to slide - then do not buy a European mutual fund denominated in US$. The fund may do well - but you will still get devalued US$.

Yen, Euro, Sterling. That's the way to go.
