Is Japan Back?

The election of Sanae Takaichi as Japan's first woman prime minister is putting a new spotlight on the country. Markets expect the "Iron Lady," as she's known, to continue some of the policies of Shinzo Abe, under whom the yen weakened while equities rocketed. On this episode of Trillions , Eric Balchunas and Joel Weber speak with Jeremy Schwartz, chief investment officer at WisdomTree. They discuss the stellar performance of his flagship Japan Hedge Equity Fund, how Warren Buffett capitalized on Japan's opportunities, why the country's high debt-to-GDP ratio matters, what investors can expect from the new prime minister—and more.
