Duration of bond funds
How can I find the average duration of bonds in a fund? Especially, I would like to look up the average duration of bonds in the following two funds:
- Smart-i 先進国債券インデックス(為替ヘッジあり)
- eMAXIS Slim 先進国債券インデックス
Is anybody aware of a bond fund with a short duration (1 or 2 years)?

Re: What is this offer from Rakuten?
Yes, when it sounds too good, it usually is :D My understanding is those are yearly interest rates (it lists 年 and the rate). It is just they double the interest rate for 7 days. So instead of receiving amount * 4% * 7 / 366 for that period, you will receive double that, just for that week. Update: ...

Re: JP mortgage for real estate abroad
Thank you for the example. I have the money to buy a property in cash, so any margin calls I can handle. However, I'm very interested in what the actual interest rate would be.
