Ramsey, those funds can't possibly be filled with a generous allotment of Japanese stocks and bonds - people wouldn't invest in 'em. They must be made up of primarily foreign bonds and some stocks. The yield on the funds must be quite savory compared to interest on Japanese bank deposits. In the long run, the funds will work out unfavorably for the Japanese, for as they pile into these funds, the yen will weaken as the investments flow into foreign bonds and the handsome yield will be offset by a net losses on currency translation.
