Currency fluctuation is a risk for the individual investor to carry when they buy shares outside of their home currency. I would not expect any company or regulator to hedge that risk on my behalf.

I think that it's reasonable that there might be some payment that equates to interest on the cash between the date of the buyout announcement and payment date but given the Swedish central bank rate is currently -0.5%, I'd not be holding my breath for any actual cash!

I've not heard from Vanguard about a payment date or price so far. I emailed the Swedish Companies Registration Office (as per ARCAMs website) asking about the process and how I can contact the appointed trustee - I received a confused email saying they didn't hold shareholder data and I should contact the Swedish Tax Authority that does! I replied reiterating my questions were all about the buyout process which they should oversee. No response so far.

I also noticed on the ARCAM investor page that a trustee has been appointed. I guess next step is to email him: In general, Arcam and GE refer any questions from the minority shareholders to the trustee, Axel Weibull at Advokatfirman Lindahl.
