Description

The Invesco JPX-Nikkei 400 UCITS ETF USD Hdg Acc aims to provide the net total return performance of the JPX-Nikkei 400 USD Hedged Index (the "Reference Index"), less the impact of fees.The Reference Index provides broad exposure, across the large-cap, small-cap, growth and innovation segments and comprises 400 stocks of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It focuses on companies with the potential to generate shareholder value. Developed by Nikkei and the Japan Exchange Group, the index selects stocks on the basis not only of size, but also return on equity, operating profit and corporate governance. To minimise exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate between JPY and USD, the USD Hedged index includes a monthly currency hedge in the index calculation.The fund aims to achieve its objective by holding a basket of equities, which typically delivers most of the fund’s return but ordinarily would not be the same as those in the reference index. The fund will also use unfunded swaps, which are contracts whereby one or more approved counterparties agrees to exchange with the fund any difference between the returns of the index and the basket of equities held. The aim is to achieve a closer and more consistent performance relative to the index than would generally be possible through physical replication alone. This ETF is passively managed. An investment in this fund is an acquisition of units in a passively managed, index tracking fund rather than in the underlying assets owned by the fund.
