Causeway International Value manager Sarah Ketterer comments on the Japan disaster's economic impact, the reconstruction to come, and the market's reaction so far.
The IVA Worldwide manager says the fund has been adding to existing holdings amid the sell-off to maintain its pre-crisis weighting to Japanese names, but has been exercising restraint in the region.
Investors' perception of what is going on in Japan is colored too much by the aggregate indices and not by what's going on with the individual companies, says Oakmark Global co-manager Clyde McGregor.
It's uncertainty--as opposed to readily identifiable losses in existing intrinsic value--that's weighing on Japan stock prices at the moment, says First Eagle's Matthew McLennan.
