The British pound is plunging versus the U.S. dollar Friday after the British people voted for the U.K. to leave the European Union. How can investors find protection and profit for their portfolios from this event?

So if the pound extends declines from here as the Brexit process plays out, these ETFs should see the biggest lift in value, if history is any guide.
