<p>I don't really see why you would price an ETF at fair value and not at last market price, given that those funds are very liquid. But in either cases you need to have two distinct securities in your portfolio, as the two classes of shares that you own in the ETF bear different risks, and will yield different performances, due to the xrate.</p>

Thanks for answer, ok assume that I value them with the last market price. If they are the same security but traded in a different exchange with different currencies how should I consider them? Value each one with the currency of the trade, or one is free to value them in the currency of election.
