iShares Japan ETF (EWJ)

Institutional starting place for exposure to Japan. If you don't want exposure to the yen, use the DXJ. He'd choose EWJ and accept the currency as part of the total return. You might also look at the smaller cap ETFs for the long-term.

vs. EWY (Korea) Japan is where many have made big mistakes, getting too bullish, too early. He struggles with its demographics and GDP, but tailwinds include nobody believes in it anymore. Better to look at SCJ-N (small caps) which trades below book value. Catalysts in Japan include a major fiscal stimulus. He prefers EWY (South Korea)--see top picks, which has been caught in the US-China trade war.

(A Top Pick Feb 26/18 - Down 9%) Still believe in it. He is seeing inflation perk up, some structural reform and the ROE is the higher than in many areas of the world.

Japan has been a tough place to invest for three decades. The difference between past rallies and the current one is that now the Yen is very cheap, and Japan is very export-oriented. The catalyst will be inflation. EWJ has been soaring and he's been very bullish on it.

An ETF for the Japanese market? This one is the clear choice. It is pretty attractive right now. Hedged against the local currency, but you still have exposure to the US$.

Has no problem with this, but wouldn’t be loading up on it. Perhaps 3% or 5%.

It is not hedged and is undervalued. They are cheap, lean and efficient in manufacturing.

A great ETF and just tracks the Japanese stock market. Very, very large. If you are going to play the Japanese market, this would certainly be one he would want to be in.

(Top Pick Dec 31/12, Up 25.86%) Underperformed Japanese stocks because of the currency risk. He forgot to hedge (DXJ-N). He thinks DXJ will work higher.

What ETF would you suggest for investing in Japan? Likes the iShares MSCI Japan (EWJ-N) although there are lots of other ETFs out there. This one has the major indices covered. Financials are about 20%, industrial/technology at around 15%. Most of his ETFs have veered towards the US, but also more towards Europe and the UK.

(A Top Pick Dec 31/12. Up 24.26%.) Thinks this will go higher. All support is at around $9.20. Japanese decided to stimulate by lowering the currency, which stimulates the export economy. It has broken out above a little resistance at $11.10. In a short-term chart, he sees an ascending triangle that is trying to break out again.

Huge. A way to play Japan. CJP is hedged and you might want to take a look at that.
