Past performance is not an indication of future performance.

Capital at risk.

The objective of the Fund is to track the performance of the FTSE Japan Index (the “Benchmark Index”) on a net total return basis before fees and expenses are applied. Therefore, the Fund’s performance may differ from the Benchmark Index due to the deduction of fees and expenses and the impact of any tracking error factors. The Benchmark Index is comprised of shares in large and middle capitalisation companies in Japan in accordance with the index provider’s methodology. The Fund is a Replicating Fund as it seeks to replicate as closely as possible the constituents of the Benchmark Index by holding all, or substantially all, of the assets comprising the Benchmark Index in similar proportions to their weightings in the Benchmark Index. The Fund will have at least 90% exposure to assets that are included in the Benchmark Index.

Investment Process

The fund's aim is to track the performance of the Japanese equity market as represented by the FTSE World Japan Index. The fund does this largely through purchasing the stocks in proportion to their weight in the index and the number of investors in the trust. This process is referred to as full replication. However this can be expensive and inefficient for smaller companies in the index so the manager may use stratified sampling where it is deemed appropriate which reduces costs but also increases the divergence from the index (known as tracking error). The trust does not use derivatives in seeking to track the index only to manage cash etc. The manager will also not engage in stock lending, which can help to increase returns. Investors should not therefore be exposed to counterparty risk.
