Hi John, I haven't really seen much Japanese convertible / warrant debt lately. I think the demand dried up as the Nikkei went down. Japanese LT Gov't bonds are maybe 1 3/4 % currently, so my guess would be that a corporate issuer would be in the 2-4% range for straight yen denominated debt. You are correct in that there is still an advantage for the typical Japanese firm.

regards,

spiny

PS - is the P for Piranha? (I can't remember)
