Great advice, thanks! I have one more question about this specific to SBI....I will probably sell the funds before they come out of my 2016 NISA, but how do I choose to sell only the funds held in the 2016 NISA? I can't seem to find that option anywhere?

finding a fiduciary

Does anybody know any (wealth management/accountant) company in Japan which has fiduciary status? I'm asking this for a friend who is dealing with a UK inheritance tax issue and needs professional advice. I don't want him to get ripped off by some dodgy firms. Do fiduciaries even exist in Japan?

eMaxis Slim funds on SBI

Are the new low fee eMaxis Slim funds available on SBI? I'm trying to buy some of the developed market funds but I can't seem to find them.

Does anybody know their ticker symbol or what key words I should use to search for them?

Thanks!
