Well I will change back to JPY before buying anything, mark the gain or losses on the JPY/USD trade ... not sure if I can buy using USD in Rakuten Finance, either way I prefer to keep things simple.sutebayashi wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:50 am If you already have dollars and plan to use those dollars then yes that makes it sound more attractive.
I have not bought US ETFs with NISA before but I suppose they must mark to market the ETF purchase cost from USD to JPY to make sure it’s within your NISA limit.
