Japan ETFs - A type of exchange-traded fund that invests the majority of its assets in Japanese equities that trade on local stock exchanges. The performance of Japan ETFs does not correlate to the performance of the underlying index when measured in U.S. dollars, because the change in the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar must be taken into consideration. The performance of Japan ETFs is thus dependent on two things: the performance of the underlying equities and the effect of changing yen into dollars.
Junk Bonds - Low-quality junk bonds, usually purchased for risk-oriented investors because of their high yields, with credit ratings of BBB, bbb or lower by Standard & Poor's or Moody’s investor services or better know as Junk Bonds.
Junior Issue - Generally speaking, any issue that ranks lower in claim to another issue in terms of dividends, interest, principal, etc.
