WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund

DXJ

Market cap $4.81B

The WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund ETF has delivered very strong returns over the past five years, employing a smart currency hedging strategy. This allowed the ETF to avoid the 50% JPY depreciation relative to the USD, and at the same time, benefit from improved competitiveness thanks to a weaker yen. Looking ahead, I believe the JPY will recover some lost ground relative to the USD, with the Bank of Japan and Federal Reserve moving in opposite directions.
