Q: Dear 5i, If one were interested in investing in Japan using a TFSA for a long term hold. Which would you prefer between FLJP or EWJV ETF on the US exchange? FLJP has approx. 500 holdings and EWJV has a value tilt. with approx. 100 holdings. EWJV's 100 holdings are a subset of FLJP's holdings.
Q: I'm looking to diversify from my US and CA markets to buy some international markets. I noticed that VE, European developed etf, didn't appear in the companies addressed above. Would you prefer a developed Europe etf or a Japanese etf at this time? Do you think Japan has a higher growth rate vs potential loss rate than VE? If so which Japanese etf would you recommended? Would you consider hedged back to CAD to be preferable at this time?
Q: Dear 5i,
If one wanted to get exposure to Japan using either FLJP or FLJH and had a medium to long term view that the Japanese currency was going to get stronger than the US dollar. Which ETF is the best one to purchase for maximum appreciation? I often get confused with hedged and non-hedged products. Can you share any simple rules I might use in future to avoid the confusion. Thanks
