Help selling mutual fund

[Simon West]

Yes I do, I should have mentioned that before. My base currency is EUR, but
the mutual fund is in GBP. I used a GBP denominated bank account for the
original mutual fund purchase, and I am trying to put the proceeds of the
sale back into that account. Is this problematic?
