Investors have long had a love/hate relationship with Japan - but mostly, in recent years at least, just hate.

The old cliché has it that as far as the stockmarket is concerned one should go away in May and come back again on St Leger Day. What? And miss out on all the fun? Reeling retailers. Broken banks. Crunching credit. There’s so much more than mere capital accumulation, yield and dividend. Not only are there bargains out there but also more than the odd laugh.

Having invested in Japan unit trusts and investment trusts for many years, and seen my investments consistently eroding, I found myself better informed (and even more optimistic)after this interview, even though it was only a short one. It will make a difference to my strategy over my Japanese investments.
