Swiss Franc ETFs
You can simplify your currency trading by investing in the Swiss Franc using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The symbol for the Swiss Franc ETF is FXF. The name for this ETF is the CurrencyShares Swiss Franc Trust. If the Swiss Franc is undervalued according to the Big Mac Index, buy FXF taking into account the Big Mac Index investing time-frame issue. Here is the description of FXF:
The CurrencyShares Swiss Franc Trust is designed to track the price of the Swiss Franc net of the Trust’s expenses, which are expected to be paid from the interest earned on the deposited Swiss Francs.

If you think the Swiss Franc will appreciate against the dollar specifically you could invest in the SZE. This is a description of the purpose of SZE:

The Economist only reported data on Greece for the Big Mac Index in 1994, 1998, 1999, and 2000. The reason that Greece stopped being part of the Big Mac Index in 2000 is because they adopted the Euro on January 1st, 2001.
