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 or Japanese shares.

NAV YTD appreciation is now @ 8.55%. This tally to date is conservative, based on always valuing the bonds and real estate at lower of cost and market.
