arbitrarily split it in purchasing shares of thee five Japanese companies (through IB, in Tokyo)

I wanted to do something similar, but most of my funds are locked up in Vanguard retirement accounts, and they don’t have access to international markets. I know Berkshire borrowed in Yen to make these investments currency neutral, but I somewhat expect the Yen to outperform the Dollar for the next 2-3 years. I ended up buying an ETF, EWJV that holds Tokyo-listed value stocks. It’s done alright in the last few months
