It's a Value-focused Japan ETF. On fire just while I transferred out of FBP to buy this one. It was in the run-up to the snap-election. In just a few days since, and on the heels of the equivalent of the PM's "State of the Union" in Japan, it's lost about 3-4% rather quickly. The fear is public debt which is already astronomical, compared to other developed countries. Here at MFO, it was noted lately that most of that debt is domestically owned. That is not insignificant. But Takaichi's Abe-nomic, expansionist predilection has people itching.
