An Emerging Case for This Japan ETF

Recent hawkishness from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) surprised many global investors with the subsequent pop by the yen sending Japanese equities and the related exchange traded funds into a tailspin.

BoJ Hikes By 25 Bps And Starts QT: Too Little Too Late, But In Right Direction To Prop Up The Plunging Yen

The “real” policy rate is massively negative, with the new policy rate of 0.25% far below Core CPI of 2.6%. When QT reaches about ¥3 trillion per month in 2026, it would represent a reduction of its JGB holdings of about 0.5% per month.

DFJ: Very Clear Small-Cap Discount In Japan

DFJ has a lower PBR than the broader large-cap driven Japanese indices. With corporate governance reform being an important factor for the market's appreciation, and similar distributions of sectoral exposures to large cap indices, small cap has more ways to run. The PBR and PE discount, as well as lagging performance of Japanese small caps, makes it a great strength-to-strength market to rotate funds into.
