Why Japan Deserves a Dedicated Allocation
Broad and diversified investment universe
Japan is the second-largest developed market, with a higher volume of stocks and fewer large caps than its peers.
A differentiated marketplace
Historically, Japan has had low correlation with the MSCI World Index.1
Less efficient market
Less sell-side coverage and cultural barriers create opportunities for those with local expertise.
Investor-friendly regulatory environment
Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations prioritize improved corporate governance, transparency, and accountability.
Our Unique Approach

Meet the Team Behind the Ticker

Equity securities will fluctuate in price; the value of your investment will thus fluctuate, and this may result in a loss. Securities in certain nondomestic countries may be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision than in one's home market. The values of these securities may be affected by changes in currency rates, application of a country's specific tax laws, changes in government administration, and economic and monetary policy. Emerging markets securities carry special risks, such as less developed or less efficient trading markets, a lack of company information, and differing auditing and legal standards. The securities markets of emerging markets countries can be extremely volatile; performance can also be influenced by political, social, and economic factors affecting companies in emerging markets countries.
