The Dynamics of Japan as an Investor
Warren Buffett has been buying more Japanese stocks. He first got into that a couple of years ago, largely because of the really attractive valuations. For 1990 to 2020, essentially the Nikkei 225, which is their S&P 500 equivalent, had 0% returns. So people always thought, Japan's a suckers trade, right?
Clay Finck chats with Dan Rasmussen about why Japanese equities offer some of the most attractive valuations in the market today, how stretched growth stock valuations are relative to value and much more.
Dan is the Founder and Portfolio Manager of Verdad, which is a global asset management firm that strives to achieve the highest risk-adjusted returns possible through rigorous research and its practical application.
