Japan Hotel Reit Investment / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>USDJPY is breaking 154, almost 20-year high.  In general, weaker Yen is positive for investment in real estate as properties look cheaper from a foreign investor perspective</li>
<li>Yen weakness is also positive to tourism in Japan, as weak currency will drive tourist arrival and boost tourism</li>
<li>We like Japan Hotel REIT on the back of attractive valuation and weaker Yen.  We also like other Japan RE names like 8801 and 8802</li>
