$Japan Physical Silver ETF (1542.JP)$
When comparing the performance of 1540 pure gold listed trusts and 1542 pure silver listed trusts, 1542 pure silver listed trusts surpass 1540 pure gold listed trusts in terms of 1-year and year-to-date returns, but 1540 pure gold listed trusts are superior in terms of 3-year returns. In terms of 5-year returns, pure silver is slightly higher. Since pure gold has a lower cost ratio, it is advantageous when considering long-term operating costs.
Purchasing a 1542 pure silver listed trust when the yen depreciates and the dollar is appreciating may be an advantageous choice in terms of reducing exchange risk and suppressing fees.

$iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT.US)$
The main reason for the rapid increase in funds flowing into bitcoin etfs is
Recently, bitcoin has reached an all-time high in the $93,000 range, increasing investor interest
As the price rises, the asset value of the etfs is also increasing.
Due to the small average trade size of etfs, the barrier to bitcoin investment is lowered by etfs, making it easier to participate.
There is a growing expectation that crypto etfs-friendly policies will be implemented due to expectations of President Trump's reelection.
Major financial institutions are increasing their investment in bitcoin etfs, with Goldman Sachs and others expanding their shareholding.
Products such as blackrock's IBIT, which are low-cost and highly liquid, have emerged, expanding the options available.
Expectations are rising for the future as bitcoin grows to become the 7th largest asset in the world.
Following the success of the Bitcoin ETF, expectations for Ethereum ETF are also rising, pushing up the overall cryptocurrency ETF market.

$Japan Physical Palladium ETF (1543.JP)$
The palladium ETF yield is currently trending upwards in the short term, but in the long term, it is trending downwards. This primarily reflects the fluctuation in the market price of palladium. Palladium is in high demand for industrial purposes such as automobile catalysts, with limited supply, leading to significant price fluctuations.
Recent yield rates are as follows:
• 1 month: +12.67%
• 3 months: +2.5%
• Year 1: -23.0%
• Year 3: -19.8%
Palladium is limited in its supply, and tends to have significant price fluctuations, so it is important to be cautious of price volatility risks more than operational costs.
President Trump's protectionist trade policies may have a significant impact on the automobile industry. This could indirectly affect the demand for palladium.
President Trump advocates for easing environmental regulations, which could potentially impact emissions regulations for automobiles. In the long run, this may affect the demand for catalytic converters.
Due to President Trump's policies and statements...

$iShares 20+ Yr US Treasury Bd JPYHdg ETF (2621.JP)$
The reason why the iShares U.S. 20-year Plus ETF (with currency hedge) is trending upwards is that bond prices are inversely correlated with interest rates, leading to an increase in bond prices due to expected lower interest rates.
Due to their high sensitivity to interest rate changes, super long-term bonds over 20 years have a tendency to significantly increase in price during periods of declining interest rates.
In this ETF, by conducting transactions (currency futures reservations) that reserve exchange rates to be exchanged in the future, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is mitigated, reducing the exchange rate risk between the U.S. dollar and the yen. This prevents a decrease in asset value during periods of a strengthening yen.
With currency hedging, the price movement of the ETF mainly reflects the price movement of U.S. bonds, enabling investment focused on U.S. interest rate trends.

$Listed Tracers USGov Bd 0-2yr Ladr UnHdg (2093.JP)$
ETF newly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 5, 2023.
• Investing in US government bonds with remaining maturity of 0-2 years.
• Trust fee: annual rate of 0.066% (excluding tax 0.06%).
• Settlement: 4 times a year (February, May, August, November each 10th).
This etf specializes in U.S. bonds with a remaining term of less than 2 years, investing in shorter duration bonds.
Because it is a type without a currency hedge, there is a currency fluctuation risk, but it is a targeted ETF for the new NISA system's growth investment quota.
I think the USA 2-year Treasury bond ETF is a highly safe investment.
