    With the fairly recent addition of currency ETFs, I can get exposure to the Canadian dollar by buying FXC.

    Suppose I want yen exposure but I am restricted to only buying and selling stock (or ETFs). Since there is no direct yen currency ETF, is this even possible?

    Thanks for any ideas you might have.

    Just find a company that does most of its business in Japan. You get yen exposure and exposure to the company.

    Yes, but I would like a company independent solution if possible.

    - I believe TIF gets a solid portion of sales from Japan
