Guys,
Does TSEX (or other stock exchange in Japan) is selling ETFs which would follow US indexes such as S&P500 etc? Like SPY
Also bonds, like BND
Are they available for purchase, paying in yen?
A link would be great. One problem: I cannot read kanji...
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Re: ETFs in Japan
Hi HM
Assuming you are not a US citizen, you have three options:
Buy US-listed ETFs (most brokers have these)
Buy Japan-listed ETFs
Buy Japanese mutual funds (these are very competitive recently)
You will need enough Japanese to complete the application to open a broker account. Once you have it you really only need a handful of buttons
Alternatively an international broker like Interactive Brokers might be a good option.

Thanks for reply!
"Alternatively an international broker like Interactive Brokers might be a good option"
Exactly
"Buy Japan-listed ETFs"
That's exactly what I want to do.
Is there any English website that would list those, and/or have info on those?

As far as I am aware, there are no brokers in Japan with English language service. If someone knows of one, would love to hear about it!

Re: ETFs in Japan
Thanks toosharp!
This helps
Wonder if someone else buys ETFs in Japan, and could share some experience? Or link to some English analyst sites/forums where they discuss Japan ETFs
Unfortunately can't search this forum - etf is among "too common words" for searching...
