I have a SMBC Prestia account as well as Mizuho.
I thought I put some into NISA up to the limit and the rest by myself.
So I started searching for what to invest in. At first I thought I'd just use the same funds I have in my home country as they all have good stats.
But I can't get any of them. Then I generally started looking and whatever I find interesting isn't available here.
Sometimes there's some equivalent of that bank available. But what sense does that make? Do they manage an already managed fund?
So I gave up on NISA and Japanese banks. Just opened an IBKR account… well and was surprised I can't get anything hardly either.
Is that a Japanese thing? Or did I just do something wrong during the applications so that I'm exempt from buying most things.
I'm quite confused what I should actually invest in.
So far I didn't want to consider transferring my money out of Japan and then investing there due to the fees.
But maybe I should reconsider?
