Japan Hotel Reit Investment / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>The JPY Yen has depreciated 25% against USD for the last 5 years, this has made Japan an extremely attractive destination for foreigners</li>
<li>The Japan’s hotel sector is known by its low supply, partly due to higher development cost and labour shortage.  We think REVPAR and ADR will continue to be strong</li>
<li>We like Japan Hotel REIT and Invincible for their hotel exposure.  We think investors should closely monitor the Yen movement as well as BOJ policy</li>
