Take the Yen Out of Japan
One hour of CFP CE Credit Available.
Japan is the 3rd largest economy in the world and growing. Many are speculating that new monetary policies in Japan may drive the yen down. Being an export-driven economy, this would, in turn, likely fuel equity values. By hedging its exposure to the yen, the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) offers advisors a way to access the return potential of Japanese equities in a weakening yen environment.  Join Tom Lydon, Editor of ETF Trends, and Jeremy Schwartz, Director of Research, WisdomTree Asset Management  as they discuss

  • Benefits and drawbacks of investing in Japan now
  • Portfolio construction and asset allocation considerations
