Using FXF as a safe haven?

Let's say the USD weakens due to everything going on and the more likely future possibilities.

I'm looking for thoughts re: parking 50% of my "cash" in FXF for the next year (or few). To me, I feel like the Swiss Franc will be less volatile/risky in comparison to holding USD, Euros, CNY, or JPY. But I'm too scared to commit more than 50% of my cash because, what if....?? I hate not knowing what's going to happen.. This was not part of my plan.

I looked into currency trading, and I feel like the ETF is a safer bet for my level of knowledge/understanding. I'm not making adjustments to any other accounts in my portfolio. I will still have more than 4 months worth of expenses covered in the other 50% of the "cash bucket".

Your thoughts are appreciated - Why would/wouldn't you go this route at this point in time? General thoughts/concerns?
