Japan, Beyond the Yen Carry Trade

By Mohshin Aziz

  • Japan market is more than just about the Yen carry trade, it is fundamentally sound and attractive valuation wise. It can prosper with a stronger JPY/USD   
  • We believe the longer-term story has not changed, the battle for manpower will make Japan companies more productive and invoke the capitalist animal spirit 
  • Topix and Nikkei 225 values have mostly recovered from the 4 Aug plunge, but some stocks continues to lag and is a value BUY
