Japanese Stocks?
In 2020, Berkshire took positions in five Japanese trading houses: Itochu, Marubeni, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Sumitomo. Also known as sōgō shōsha, which translates to “general trading company”, these firms are highly diversified across major industries.
According to an article from IMD, Buffett sees an attractive opportunity in Japan due to the country’s low-interest rates, among other things.
