My hope (and maybe I'm being delusional) is that, after the whole Brexit thing has settled down in a couple of years, the pound will climb back to its historic average value of about $1.50. Now, the pound is about $1.20. Hence, relative to the historical status quo, paying off your loan now would yield a one-off 25% return on your investment (I'm even ignoring the interest on your student loan). That's not too bad and is certainly worth considering if you have already maxed-out your tax-advantaged 401K and IRA contributions. I'd compare that one-off 20% gain with what you would get if you put the money in an ETF index fund that is sitting taxable investment account. Yeah, do it!
