Invest in an US ETF or fund being a UK citizen
Is it possible to invest in a US ETF or fund being a UK citizen, without having any sort of bank or brokerage account based in the USA?
I'm not talking about these ETFs / funds that hold US assets but are sold in pounds sterling, I mean investing in a product whose underlying currency is US dollars, so at the moment of selling it you would receive the cash in the latter.

A U.S. account requires U.S. residency.
Just invest in U.S. securities through a European account that offers international investing. Then buy currency ETF's, or buy currency futures, or take Forex positions, for whatever amount of dollar positions are to be held.
The problem is that you can no longer buy US domiciled ETFs that don't comply with EU regulations, which most don't do. I'm not sure how will change because of Brexit.
Here's a good overview of the problem.
