Profit from a falling Aussie Dollar

At the time of writing this the Aussie Dollar was valued at approximately $.92US with many experts predicting that the Aussie dollar is more likely to fall than increase further. Many investors are questioning whether now is the time to invest in overseas markets so that they benefit from a future falling dollar.

However, rather than invest directly in overseas stock it is also possible to invest in Australian listed companies that derive the majority of their income offshore. The share price of these companies are likely to benefit from a falling Australia dollar

Below we have listed companies that have a high percentage of their revenue from overseas operations.
