Yen Investment Strategies and Portfolio Diversification of a Wealthy Entrepreneur

Despite the ongoing weakness of the Japanese yen, experts predict a gradual recovery in its value and advise investors to consider exposure to the yen. Recommended approaches include converting won to yen, directly investing in Japanese equities, or purchasing US-listed ETFs denominated in yen. Notably, selecting ETFs without currency hedging is emphasized, as this allows investors to benefit from both the appreciation of the yen and asset growth. For Japanese equity investment, Warren Buffett's portfolio is cited as a useful reference.
