Doubt it, as its Dollar denominated, hence the “USD” in the title. You have to find the GBP class or a similar fund, such as VanEck’s SMGB

if they offered USD denominated ETFs there would likely be a currency charge. Would you pay half a percent currency conversion fee, i wonder?

Hi patch. The USD in the title actually refers to the fund base currency and is not the trading currency. Confusing, I know!

SEMI is actually listed in GBP on the LSE, so InvestEngine should be able to add it.
