Products and Services
- Component Securities Investment
The fund invests a significant portion of its assets directly in the securities that make up its underlying index. This approach allows for a diversified exposure to the large- and mid-cap sectors of the Japanese equity market, striving to mirror the index’s performance as closely as possible.
- Substantially Identical Investments
Beyond direct investment in the component securities, the fund also seeks out investments that have economic characteristics which are substantially identical to those of the securities in its underlying index. This strategy is designed to enhance the fund's ability to track the overall performance of the index, even when direct investment in a component security is not possible or practical.
