Japan’s exports return to growth, rising 4.3% in September

Japanese exports grew 4.3% in September from a year earlier for the first year-on-year increase in three months, preliminary data released Thursday by the Finance Ministry shows.

Exports increased to 9.19 trillion yen ($61 billion), while imports totalled 9.13 trillion yen, down 16.3% mainly due to falling resource prices, resulting in a monthly trade surplus of 62.4 billion yen. The quantity of exports increased 0.7%, the first rise in a year.

The Trust has a ‘growth at reasonable price’ (GARP) investment style and approach – which involves identifying companies whose growth prospects are being under-appreciated or are not fully recognised by other investors.
