The NYC-based investment management company has eyed a new opportunity: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan">the Japanese market</a>. 
What Happened: Nikkei Asia <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Finance/Blackstone-eyes-10bn-in-Japan-deals-amid-buyout-fund-influx">reported</a> that Blackstone is planning to invest $9.6 billion in Japan by 2027.
&#8220;There are a number of factors that have come together that have really accelerated growth in the Japanese economy as well as investment opportunities,&#8221; Blackstone President Jonathan Gray told Nikkei. &#8220;It&#8217;s been the return of inflation to the Japanese economy, the strength in the stock market, the policies under Prime Minister [Fumio] Kishida, which have encouraged individual Japanese to move from savers to investors, which we think is very important, the encouragement of companies to focus on return on equity and to look at selling noncore divisions.&#8221;
The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>) is up over 9% in 2024 and the Japanese Yen is as weak against the U.S. Dollar as it has been in several decades.
Why it Matters: Blackstone is not alone in pursuing opportunities in the Japanese market. Investment managers, including Bain Capital and KKR &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), are increasingly favoring Japan rather than China and India for investment opportunities.
Carlyle Group, which has previously invested in Japan, saw an internal rate of return of 28%, compared with around 8% to 14% for major Carlyle funds with focuses in Europe or Asia, according to Nikkei.

CEO Warren Buffett famously <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/17/opinion/17buffett.html">prefers</a> to invest in American companies, but a favorable Japanese interest rate environment led Berkshire to take stakes in the following Japanese conglomerates in 2020:

Private Equity Giant Blackstone Targets Japanese Market, Anticipates 'Accelerated Growth': Report

The Nikkei 225, an index representing the shares of the 225 largest publicly traded Japanese companies, crossed the 39,000-point threshold, charting a remarkable U-shaped recovery <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/japan">through monumental economic shifts</a>.
However, renowned investor Warren Buffett might not be as hyped about this particular milestone. 
<img decoding="async" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1708616119_0.png" alt="" />
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Story, For A Dollar-Based Investor</h2>
In January 1990, the global landscape was revolutionized by Japanese technological innovations (i.e., televisions, cameras, and video game consoles). 
During this era, the Nikkei 225 peaked at 38,950 points. This marked a staggering 500% increase over the previous decade, translating to an annualized return of 20%.
For the next 34 years, the Nikkei navigated through the dot-com bubble burst, the 2008 financial crisis, the economic ascent of China, and a prolonged period of tepid Japanese economic growth accompanied by over a decade of negative interest rates.
Its current performance presents a contrasting narrative for foreign investors converting their returns into their own currencies.
The dollar-yen exchange rate is currently hovering at its highest levels since July 1990, fueled by the contrasting monetary policies of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan (BoJ), as well as the varying economic growth trajectories of the United States and Japan.
In a stark departure from the BoJ&#8217;s approach of maintaining interest rates at zero or even negative levels since the end of 2010, the Federal Reserve has escalated the cost of borrowing to highs not seen in over two decades, with rates ranging between 5.25% and 5.5%.
While the Yen-denominated Nikkei has showcased a robust gain of over 160% in the past decade, this achievement is significantly diminished for dollar-based investors like Buffett who opted for the currency unhedged iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>). 
For them, the return dwindles to just 46%, primarily eroded by the yen&#8217;s depreciation against the dollar. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="495" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22095115/image-48-1024x495.png" alt="" class="wp-image-225537" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22095115/image-48-1024x495.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22095115/image-48-300x145.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22095115/image-48-768x372.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22095115/image-48-1536x743.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/22095115/image-48.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Buffett Effect</h2>
Recall last April, when Buffett augmented his investments in Japanese corporations. The Oracle of Omaha set his sights on five major Japanese trading houses: Itochu Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSBHF#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSY#OTC">MITSY</a>), Sumitomo Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>), and Marubeni Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>). 
Those entities are recognized for their diversified business operations and tend to be valued at lower or more reasonable market prices.
The &#8220;Buffett Effect&#8221; arguably catalyzed a wave of renewed enthusiasm and confidence in the Japanese stock market.
After Buffett&#8217;s notable investments in April, the Nikkei index experienced a significant 37% increase. Among the companies Buffett invested in, Mitsubishi was the standout, surpassing the overall performance of the Japanese market.
However, this period also saw the U.S. dollar strengthen dramatically, rising more than 12% against the Japanese yen. This increase in the dollar&#8217;s value had a moderating effect on the actual returns for investors who convert their earnings from Japanese stocks back into dollars. 
Essentially, while the investments in Japanese stocks showed paper gains in yen, the appreciation of the dollar against the yen meant that when these earnings were converted back to dollars, the gains were less impressive than they initially appeared.

Japan's Nikkei 225 Hits Record Highs, But Warren Buffett Is Holding The Applause: Here's Why

Mitsui &amp; Co.(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSY#OTC">MITSY</a>), one of Japan&#8217;s leading trading houses, has warned that global demand for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/23/09/34496182/winter-is-coming-the-rise-of-liquefied-natural-gas-in-the-energy-market-not-everyone-will-be-a-winne" rel="noreferrer noopener">liquefied natural gas</a>&nbsp;(LNG) will likely exceed supply expectations, and the current project pipeline will not suffice to meet this demand, especially in the context of the ongoing energy transition.&nbsp;
What Happened: "Announced projects in the world still won't make up for the supply needed when considering the&nbsp;energy transition that will take several decades,&#8221;&nbsp;Kenichi Hori, the President of Mitsui, said, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-16/world-lacks-enough-lng-for-energy-transition-key-trader-says" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.&nbsp;
The company, along with other major Japanese trading houses, is deeply involved in fossil fuels. Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/06/32913032/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-raises-stake-in-5-japanese-trading-houses" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">increased its stake</a> in these firms back in June. 
See Also:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-energy-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Best Energy Stocks for the Week</a>
While LNG is viewed as a cleaner fossil fuel to reduce emissions, tight supply conditions are expected to persist until around 2026 when new projects are set to begin operation.&nbsp;
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Mitsui recognizes the importance of diversifying supply sources for energy security, and Hori noted that the Middle East, including Qatar, remains a vital LNG source for Japan&#8217;s diversification efforts.&nbsp;
Besides gas and LNG, Mitsui is focusing on other pathways for the energy transition, including renewable energy, ammonia, and hydrogen. They have announced substantial investments in offshore wind projects and are exploring opportunities in e-methanol.&nbsp;
Mitsui envisions its portfolio evolving from traditional energy to a low-carbon-intensive era. They also plan to increase dividends when their base profit earnings power rises.&nbsp;

Warren Buffett-Backed Trading Giant's Warning: LNG Shortage Threatens Global Energy Shift

One of the most well-known investors of all time is seeing his recent investment activity called out by a more recent well-known investor.
Are the comments praise or an attempt to take on his legacy?
What Happened: Legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE">BRK-A</a>)(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE">BRK-B</a>) CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">Warren Buffett</a> has been increasing his bets on Japanese stocks and enjoying strong returns&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/06/32865614/warren-buffetts-bets-on-this-country-tripled-to-17-billion-hint-its-not-the-us">in recent months.</a>
The investment strategy saw&nbsp;his ownership stakes in the Japanese companies increase and came&nbsp;at a time when major Japanese stock market indexes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/05/32403975/japanese-stocks-rallied-five-weeks-in-a-row-after-warren-buffetts-bet-outperforming-a-nearly-flat-s">outperformed the key American stock index metrics.</a>
Investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chamath-palihapitiya">Chamath Palihapitiya</a>, who was once labeled as the &quot;next Buffett&quot; by the media, took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Buffett&rsquo;s strategy.
&ldquo;I was really curious about Buffett&rsquo;s ownership of the Japanese trading companies and wanted to understand why he did it? As it turns out, the trade is really brilliant,&rdquo; Palihapitiya <a href="https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1671806525029986304">tweeted</a>. &ldquo;He found a group of companies that had very low volatility, grew earnings predictably, had a good dividend and, in most cases, were buying back their stock.&rdquo;
Palihapitiya said the next step by Buffett is one that is &ldquo;awesome.&rdquo;
&ldquo;As far as I can tell, he issues Japanese debt at very low rates, uses the proceeds to buy the stocks and then uses the dividends he then gets from owning these stocks (which are greater than the interest rates he&rsquo;s paying to borrow in the first place) to pay the coupon!&rdquo;
The investor said this could be a &ldquo;near-risk less bet&rdquo; by borrowing trillions of Japanese Yen for free and using the proceeds to buy stakes in companies that are &ldquo;growing earnings in the mid-teens.&rdquo;
&ldquo;And over a 10-20 year holding period, he becomes insensitive to currency vol and so really can&rsquo;t lose money. He locks in the earnings gains over this period along with whatever spread he keeps between his dividends and his coupons.&rdquo;
The risk for Buffett is the concern that the Japanese economy could totally blow up, which Palihapitiya said is &ldquo;pretty unlikely&rdquo; as the companies in question are also exposed to the rest of the world.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s inspiring to see folks act this intelligently at scale. That&rsquo;s why he&rsquo;s the (GOAT).&rdquo;

Why It&rsquo;s Important: The post by Palihapitiya drew plenty of responses from the public and his 1.6 million followers on Twitter.
One user questioned the potential criticism of Buffett as he once compared himself to the famed investor. Palihapitiya said he never compared himself to Buffett and it was the media.
&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t trust what you read,&rdquo; Palihapitiya said.
Another user said this was misleading as the shareholder letters issued by Social Capital in 2018, 2019 and 2020 compared early returns of his&nbsp;Social Capital to Berkshire Hathaway.
&ldquo;You chose Buffett as your benchmark. Which is comparing yourself to him,&rdquo; the user said.
Palihapitiya said this was different than a comparison and was only a benchmark.
One user was quick to point out that Buffett is producing a crazy return on equity by borrowing at 0% to 1% and investing in 7% to 10%. Palihapitiya said it could be better than this with borrowing at 1% to 2% and investing at 12% to 14%.
Palihapitiya acknowledged a user that called Buffett&rsquo;s strategy as yield farming by calling it &ldquo;OG yield farming.&rdquo;
A user asked what it was that the Japanese companies Buffett has invested in do and how he can use this investment strategy.
&ldquo;They are middlemen that trade in various commodities for many economies in the world. So as long as the world needs &lsquo;stuff&rsquo; these folks will provide it for a small fee&hellip;hence it&rsquo;s bet levered world GDP which tends to grow over long periods of time,&rdquo; Palihapitiya said.
Palihapitiya added the Berkshire Hathaway can issue debt anywhere on the planet.
Short seller<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/muddy-waters"> Muddy Waters</a> replied to Palihapitiya&rsquo;s post asking if it &ldquo;depends on what the definition of &lsquo;is&rsquo; is.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry about this mid level bullsh**. I&rsquo;m just trolling these guys,&rdquo; Palihapitiya told Muddy Waters.
The comments by Palihapitiya come as Buffett&rsquo;s bets on five Japanese companies have grown from $6 billion to $17 billion.
Berkshire Hathaway <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/06/32913032/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-raises-stake-in-5-japanese-trading-houses">took 5% stakes</a> in several Japanese companies back in August 2020, positions which have increased along the way.

Chamath Palihapitiya Calls Out Warren Buffett's Japanese Investments: Is He Throwing Shade Or Praising The Legendary Investor?

Warren Buffett&#39;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk#NYSE">BRK</a>) announced&nbsp;Monday that it&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/06/32865614/warren-buffetts-bets-on-this-country-tripled-to-17-billion-hint-its-not-the-us" target="_blank">has increased its stakes in Japan&#39;s top five trading houses</a>. This move is believed to have contributed to the robust momentum driving the nation&#39;s stock market to reach multiyear highs.
The company holds stakes in&nbsp;Itochu Corp.&nbsp;(OTCPK: ITOCF),&nbsp;Marubeni Corp.&nbsp;(OTCPK: MARUF),&nbsp;Mitsubishi Corp.&nbsp;(OTCPK: MSBHF),&nbsp;Mitsui &amp; Co. Ltd&nbsp;(OTCPK: MITSY), and&nbsp;Sumitomo Corp.&nbsp;(OTCPK: SSUMF).
Berkshire&nbsp;said its stakes in these companies now average more than 8.5%. The Japanese companies&#39;&nbsp;aggregate value considerably exceeds Berkshire-held public stocks in any other country outside of the U.S.
In 2020, Berkshire first bought stakes in Japan&#39;s trading houses.&nbsp;
&quot;The tailwinds for Japanese equities continue to multiply,&quot; Reuters quoted Charu Chanana, market strategist at broker Saxo Markets&nbsp;in Singapore, as saying.

&quot;While it was previously hinted that Berkshire will increase its stake, the announcement has come somewhat sooner than expected and will further boost optimism on Japanese stocks,&quot; Chanana said.&nbsp;
Berkshire remains committed to maintaining its Japanese investments for the foreseeable future. With regard to pricing, the company said it is open to expanding its holdings in any of the five assets, with a maximum stake of 9.9%.
Earlier in April, Buffett traveled to Japan and met with the CEOs of each of the five companies.
According to regulatory filings from June 12, the trading firms&#39; reports revealed Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s ownership percentages as follows: 7.4% of Itochu&#39;s stock, 8.3% of Marubeni and Mitsubishi&#39;s stock, 8.1% of Mitsui&#39;s stock&nbsp;and 8.2% of Sumitomo&#39;s stock, reports Reuters.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Raises Stake In 5 Japanese Trading Houses

Warren Buffett consistently demonstrates a knack for spotting undervalued companies and making calculated, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">often surprising moves</a>.
One of his more recent ventures took an unexpected turn to the Far East, with stakes in five Japanese companies ballooning to $17 billion in less than three years.
In August 2020, Buffett&rsquo;s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK-A">BRK-A</a>) (NYSE: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BRK-B/news">BRK-B</a>) veered away from its familiar U.S.-based investments to snap up 5% stakes in the following companies:
Itochu Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCF#OTC">ITOCF</a>) 
Marubeni Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUF#OTC">MARUF</a>) 
Mitsubishi Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSBHF#OTC">MSBHF</a>) 
Mitsui &amp; Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSY#OTC">MITSY</a>) 
Sumitomo Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSUMF#OTC">SSUMF</a>)
Being dubbed the &ldquo;Oracle of Omaha&rdquo; is no small feat, and the Japanese investments illustrate why he holds the title.
Since those initial investments, he&#39;s added more to the positions, to the tune of 7.4%. With the Japanese stocks soaring to multi-decade highs, the $6 billion investment is now worth $17 billion, a gain of about 183%, placing Berkshire&rsquo;s Japanese holdings amongst its largest positions.

By the end of 2021, only nine of Berkshire&rsquo;s top 15 holdings were over the $4 billion mark &mdash; now, three of its Japanese holdings sit above that line, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-japan-stock-price-portfolio-shareholder-returns-2023-6?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_campaign=business-sf&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;fbclid=IwAR0VqYiMDqf2cdwg0wBL02_Pf2btGPu1zbKEEnOgZoFTlfoJVtN5wRkDlOY">according</a> to Business Insider.
Buffett isn&rsquo;t one to make moves without a calculated strategy. In Berkshire&rsquo;s annual meeting in May, he pointed out that the companies were &ldquo;ridiculously&rdquo; undervalued, deeply ingrained in industries familiar to Berkshire, and large enough to make a significant impact on Berkshire&rsquo;s earnings.
But what does Buffett&rsquo;s Far East venture mean for the everyday investor? There are opportunities to follow in Buffett&rsquo;s footsteps by investing in Japanese equities through exchange-traded funds.
Two notable options are the iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWJ#NYSE">EWJ</a>) and the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXJ#NYSE">DXJ</a>) The former is vulnerable to fluctuations in the value of the Japanese yen versus the dollar, while the latter hedges against such currency swings, providing a safer bet for U.S.-based investors.

Warren Buffett's Bets On This Country Tripled To $17 Billion: Hint, It's Not The US

Since Warren Buffett expressed willingness to raise his exposures to Japanese trading companies on&nbsp;April 10, the Nikkei 225 index, which represents the broad&nbsp;Japanese stock market, registered gains for five straight weeks, increasing by 8%&nbsp;and surging <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31742382/buffett-loves-japan-nikkei-stocks-rally-after-berkshire-hathaway-ceo-says-he-raises-bets-in-five-jap" target="_blank">back to November 2021 highs.&nbsp;</a>
In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 index, which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust ETF (ARCA: SPY), only gained by 1% over the same time span, thus lagging well behind Japanese equities.&nbsp;
Until Buffett publicly stated his desire to boost his holdings of Japanese stocks, the Nikkei and the S&amp;P 500 had almost&nbsp;equal year-to-date performance, as the chart below shows.&nbsp;

Why Buffett Loves Japan:&nbsp;Buffett has long had an attraction for the Japanese &quot;sogo sosha,&quot;&nbsp;or trading house companies, which are diversified conglomerates that trade at cheap or discount&nbsp;valuations&nbsp;on the market. Just what Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#39;s&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bkr-a#NYSE">BKR-A</a>) CEO&nbsp;needs to hear.&nbsp;
The &quot;Oracle of Omaha&quot;&nbsp;had purchased slightly more than 5% of Japan&#39;s top five trading houses in August 2020:&nbsp;Itochu Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itocy#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msbhf#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co. Ltd. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mitsy#OTC">MITSY</a>), Sumitomo ADR&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC">SSUMY</a>), and Marubeni ADR&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/maruy#OTC">MARUY</a>). Buffett&nbsp;then increased his bets twice in November 2022 and April 2023.&nbsp;
How To Invest In Japanese Equities: There are two major exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide investors with exposure to Japanese equities.
The primary distinction between them relates to their currency hedging strategies.
The currency-unhedged iShares MSCI Japan ETF (ARCA: EWJ) tracks a market-cap-weighted index that encompasses around 85% of the investable universe of securities traded in Japan. In this case, a U.S.-based investor would be susceptible to swings in the Japanese yen&#39;s performance versus the dollar.
The WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (ARCA: DXJ) invests in Japanese dividend-paying firms while hedging against currency swings. In this situation, a U.S.-based investment would not be exposed to currency risk.
Over the previous three years, DXJ has significantly outperformed EWJ by more than 50% due to&nbsp;a sharp rise in the dollar&#39;s relative value to the yen.

Japanese Stocks Rallied Five Weeks In A Row After Warren Buffett's Bet, Outperforming A Nearly Flat S&P 500

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;said in an interview with Nikkei on Tuesday that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31740469/warren-buffett-very-proud-of-japanese-investments-5-tokyo-listed-stocks-berkshire-has-stakes-in" target="_blank">he was proud of his investments in shares of Japanese trading houses.</a>
In his appearance on CNBC&rsquo;s Squawk Box on Wednesday, he elaborated further on the logic behind his Japanese bets.
What Happened:&nbsp;Buffett&rsquo;s agreed that his investment in Japanese stocks reflects his stamp of approval in Japan. This was accurate a couple of years ago too, he said.
&ldquo;I was confounded by the fact that we could buy into these companies and in effect have earnings yield, maybe 14% or something like that, with dividends&hellip;.. that grew 70% during that time and people were investing money at quarter percent or nothing, and then the quarter percent, if they put it out for a year, it wasn&rsquo;t going to grow,&rdquo; the billionaire said.
&ldquo;It&#39;s sure gonna be better than I thought it would be.&quot;
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffetts-forex-strategy" target="_blank">&nbsp;Warren Buffett&#39;s Forex Strategy</a>
Tracing Back Investment History:&nbsp;&nbsp;Buffett told CNBC that the investment in the Japanese trading houses started about four years ago.
&ldquo;I was looking at company after company, as I do every day and I just thought these were big companies. These were companies that I generally understood what they did, somewhat similar to&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE" target="_blank">BRK-A</a>) (NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE" target="_blank">BRK-B</a>),&quot; the billionaire investor said.
These stocks were trading at &ldquo;ridiculous&rdquo; prices, compared to the interest rates that prevailed at that time, he said.
Buffett said he, therefore, started buying all five largest trading houses during his 90th birthday (Aug. 30, 2020). The five trading companies Berkshire has stakes in are:
<ul>
<li>Itochu Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itocy#OTC" target="_blank">ITOCY</a>)</li>
<li>Mitsubishi Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msbhf#OTC" target="_blank">MSBHF</a>)</li>
<li>Mitsui &amp; Co., Ltd&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mitsy#OTC" target="_blank">MITSY</a>)</li>
<li>Sumitomo Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumy#OTC" target="_blank">SSUMY</a>) and</li>
<li>Marubeni Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/maruy#OTC" target="_blank">MARUY</a>)</li>
</ul>
Berkshire picked up an identical 5% stake in each of these companies and Buffett wrote to the CEOs of the companies at that time that he would never buy more than 9.9% in each without their consent.
Since Berkshire&rsquo;s purchases, the dividends of these companies have, on average, gone up by about 70%, he noted.
The investment guru also said Berkshire now owns 7.4% of each of these companies. He also said during his Japanese visit, he met with each of these companies over the past two days.
Buffett said these stocks are long-term bets. &ldquo;We&#39;ll be in these stocks 10-20 years,&rdquo; he said.

Warren Buffett Reveals 'Confounding' Fact That Made Him Invest In Japan's Top 5 Trading Firms: 'Better Than I Thought'

Shares of the Nikkei 225, the largest equity index in Japan, increased more than 1% after Berkshire Hathaway Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bkr-a#NYSE">BKR-A</a>) CEO Warren Buffett stated in a media interview with Nikkei press that he plans to increase his exposure to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/23/04/31740469/warren-buffett-very-proud-of-japanese-investments-5-tokyo-listed-stocks-berkshire-has-stakes-in" target="_blank">Japanese trading houses</a>.&nbsp;
After revealing in August 2020&nbsp;it had purchased somewhat more than 5% of Japan&#39;s top five trading houses &mdash;&nbsp;Itochu Corp. (OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSBHF#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co.

(OTC:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>) &mdash; Buffett expanded its interests in Japanese stocks in November.
Sogo sosha, or Japanese trading corporations, are diversified conglomerates that typically trade at low or cheap market valuations.
Buffett&#39;s favorite Japanese equities trade at single-digit future P/E ratios, giving them an appealing value proposition that has likely piqued the interest of the &quot;Oracle of Omaha,&quot; who is now in Japan on a business trip.

Itochu CEO Masahiro&nbsp;Okafuji told Nikkei that he is &quot;confident&quot;&nbsp;Buffett thinks the Japanese market justifies more investment. The iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (ARCA: EWJ) is up 4.8% year-to-date.&nbsp;
Market Reactions To Buffett&rsquo;s Interview: Shares of the five Japanese trading houses rallied more than 2% at the close of the market session in Tokyo.
Mitsubishi Corp. (8058) gained 2%, Mitsui &amp; Co. (8031) was up by 2.7%, Itochu Corp. (8001) by 3%, Sumitomo Corp. (8053) by 3.2% and Marubeni Corp. (8002) by 4.6%.

Billionaire investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31731723/5-of-the-craziest-things-warren-buffett-has-spent-his-money-on">Warren Buffett </a>has set his sights on the far east to put his money to work.
What Happened: &nbsp;Buffett, who runs the investment holding company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), is "very proud" of his investments in Japanese stocks, the billionaire <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks/Interview/Warren-Buffett-says-he-intends-to-add-to-Japanese-stock-holdings2">told</a> in an interview with Nikkei.
Berkshire in Aug. 2020 picked up more than 5% stake in each of Japan's five trading houses, namely Itochu Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Mitsubishi Corp.

Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-a#NYSE">BRK-A</a>) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE">BRK-B</a>) late Sunday announced it has purchased passive stakes in five of the largest Japanese trading companies.
What Happened: The trading companies, referred to as &ldquo;Sogo Shosha&rdquo; in Japan, include Itochu Corporation (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itocy#OTC">ITOCY</a>), Marubeni Corporation (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/maruy#OTC">MARUY</a>), Mitsubishi Corporation (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msbhy#OTC">MSBHY</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co. Ltd. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mitsy#OTC">MITSY</a>), and Sumitomo Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ssumf#OTC">SSUMF</a>).
Berkshire said it has acquired a 5% stake in each of the five companies. The Omaha-based company pledged that, while it intended to hold these investments long term, it wouldn&rsquo;t have ownership above 9.99% in any of the Sogo Shosha at any point in the future.
&ldquo;The five major trading companies have many joint ventures throughout the world and are likely to have more of these partnerships,&rdquo;&nbsp;Buffett said in a statement.
&ldquo;I hope that in the future there may be opportunities of mutual benefit.&rdquo;
Why It Matters: According to data compiled by <a href="">Bloomberg</a>, the investments, made through subsidiary National Indemnity, are worth above $6 billion.
This also marks a rare push away from the United States companies for Buffett, who famously <a href="">said</a> that &ldquo;never bet against America,&rdquo; as earlier <a href="">noted</a> by analyst Quoth the Raven.
Buffett <a href="">turned 90 years old</a> on Sunday, and counts Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>) as <a href="">some of his biggest</a> holdings.
Price Action: Berkshire Class A shares closed 0.5% higher at $327,431 on Friday, and Class B shares closed 0.77% higher at $218.55.

Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (MITSY) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Tracking Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio - Q2 2024 Update

Buy These Stocks Before A Fed Rate Cut In September 2024

With the Japanese yen still trading at multi-decade lows, it has sparked interest in certain sectors, including technology, automotive, and manufacturing that could benefit from a weaker currency. Given these dynamics, quality Japanese stocks Sony Group (SONY), Mitsui & Co. (MITSY), and Honda Motor (HMC) could be worth watching closely. Read more... As the Japanese yen weakens against the U.S. dollar this year, the dynamics of Japan's stock market are shifting, creating unique opportunities for investors. So, let's look at fundamentally sound Japanese stocks Sony Group Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SONY">SONY</a>), Mitsui &amp; Co., Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MITSY/">MITSY</a>), and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/HMC">HMC</a>) that will likely gain from the current currency trends.
Japan's economy is dealing with a crisis surrounding the nation's currency, the yen. The currency's exchange rate has been witnessing a continued slide this year, toughing a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/dollar-defensive-amid-lower-yields-yen-hovers-near-38-year-trough-2024-07-03/">38-year low</a> of around $161 to the U.S. dollar on July 3. However, the yen's downtrend has reversed lately, after the Bank of Japan's July 31 decision to increase interest rates.
The Japanese yen <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/currency">grew towards 146 per dollar</a>, rebounding from two-week lows and tracking a rally in Japanese government bond yields amid a hawkish stance on Bank of Japan monetary policy. Despite the recent surge in the yen, it is still trading at multi-decade lows, and investors must keep an eye on companies that stand to benefit from this trend.
Sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, and technology stand out as particularly attractive during this period, with companies in these industries likely to see enhanced earnings due to favorable exchange rates. Thus, Japanese stocks such as SONY, MITSY, and HMC could be ideal watchlist additions as they can capitalize on the current currency trends.
Let's discuss the fundamentals of the featured stocks in detail:
Sony Group Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SONY">SONY</a>)
Based in Tokyo, Japan, SONY designs, develops, produces, and sells electronic equipment, instruments, and devices for the consumer, professional, and industrial markets globally.

On April 17, 2024, Sony Electronics, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America and an affiliate of SONY, introduced a new line of home audio products under the new BRAVIA Theater brand name. The BRAVIA Theater Line-up provides soundbars, a home theater system, and a neckband speaker for immersive cinematic sound.
These new product launches will offer an upgraded cinematic experience to consumers in their homes and will drive the company's profitability and growth.
