The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) provides diversified exposure to Japan's major industrial and consumer brands, making it suitable for long-term investors seeking steady growth. Despite Japan's slow GDP growth and demographic challenges, EWJ's liquidity, balanced sector allocation, and strong historical returns make it a reliable core holding. Recent market overreactions to Middle East energy risks have created a buying opportunity, with analysts targeting a 2026 price of $103.93, implying a potential 14.7% gain. EWJ remains a key option for geographic diversification in investment portfolios.
