Schroder Japan Share Discussion Threads

Good to be reminded that there is an investment trust who beats its benchmark over an almost 4 year period by a decent amount.

Last Friday's Tempus in The Times had a buy, noting that over the last year its value orientated portfolio had done better than JFJ with its growth orientated portfolio.
Placed a lot of importance in the discount of 10pc approx which over the last decade is par for the course.
I will stay with what zI have for the time being.

Half page interview with the newish fund manager in yesterday#s Telegraph but I cannot locate it on the rather pathetic website.
Nothing really new and do not see it moving the share price either way.

Hugh Hendry on his Japan trade...

So when I look at the year, I started the year hugely bullish on Japan. Hugely bullish, let me say, not qualitatively. I’m not an advocate of the three arrows and the resuscitation to the great heights of whatever Japan represented in the 1980s.

I am saying that I can see persistent failure to achieve such honourable ambitions, which leaves no recourse but to intervene again and again and again. Therefore I see the Yen being a weak currency.

The other side of that, the stock market, being higher and higher and higher. But I think four months of the year the Japanese market had fallen 16% from its high, and I had to swallow my pride and I had to reduce position.

I had to sell at lower prices, and yet, such is the foreboding presence or shadow cast by the Bank of Japan, that not even if we mentioned the recent intervention, without that intervention the Nikkei had gone back to its previous highs. So I was wrong in selling.

and another FACT.... it only fell because those in 2006 wanted their money back.

[el chupacabra] 04/2/2014 09:47

So if you turn the tele off and ignore the doom and gloomers and just look at facts....

107 looks like support?

[el chupacabra] 04/2/2014 09:29

is it time to run a ruler over this again?

[ryandj2222] 07/9/2013 22:29

Well they got the 2020 Olympics!

[ryandj2222] 28/8/2013 16:05

I might buy more if it goes up a bit, or down a bit.... seems a bit lost for direction at the moment, so happy to hold on for a bit.

[el chupacabra] 22/8/2013 09:21

whats the skinny ryandj, another buying opp you think?

[ryandj2222] 26/7/2013 10:07

Support at 122 would be good - the share price is at quite a discount to the NAV of 140 so there's either some catching up to do or a safety cushion in any down moves for Japan. Corporate reporting in Tokyo not been that great this week, but I think it's still good for more upward moves.

[el chupacabra] 23/7/2013 07:41

wotcha ryandj, so Abe is now in full control of the job lot then :) he can do what he likes when he like!




thinking 122 will become support now

[ryandj2222] 18/7/2013 15:18

Haha yes sounds rather bullish! Not far off the earlier highs, and the NAV is about 140 so far. More of this please!

[el chupacabra] 13/6/2013 15:03

squeaky bum time this morning, nice to see it recover a bit

[ryandj2222] 10/6/2013 08:36

More or less - they all move about with varying discounts / premiums to NAV but tend to roughly follow the nikkei
