Press Release Summary: Company bosses at Portway Capital are mulling the possibility
of increasing their speculative position on the Yen, if industry rumblings prove to
be credible.


Press Release Body: France-based Portway Capital, who came under fire eighteen
months ago for the swift implementation of several, well-publicized changes to their
investment strategies, were tongue-in-cheek about the difficulties in a recent
letter to customers and shareholders alike.
The strategy shift last year was to "get out of the dollar", and to do that
effectively Portway Capital had to move fast - thus prompting calls of foul play by
unconvinced investors. Today Portway Capital are pointing to a 15% gain in the Yen
vs the Dollar in the last 12 months, as key evidence that the strategies and were
correct and that their swift execution was essential for maximum gains.
Furthermore, there is now a substantial amount of chatter to suggest that Portway
Capital are ready to increase their Yen exposure; BOJ's new governor, Masaaki
Shirakawa, is seen as more hawkish than his predecessor and with The Bank of Japan
reluctant to keep interest rates at a negative level, after accounting for
inflation, all factors seem to point to further Yen gains in the short-term,
according to Portway Capital.
