I have a Japanese Yen loan amounting to less than 4% of gross asset, with about 50% of loan already converted to USD denominated assets and 50% remaining in Yen currency and Japanese shares.
2003 NAV YTD appreciation is now @ 3.49%. This tally-to-date is conservative, based on always valuing the bonds and real estate at lower of cost and market.
The NAV gains are mostly due to non-USD currencies' appreciation, physical/paper gold increases, Lumacom surge, Zimbabwe Platinum gain recognition, and Argentina real estate stock recovery.
