The fund has a specific investment thesis with an Abenomics-targeted, dividend-focused portfolio. It selects export-oriented, dividend-paying Japanese companies of all capitalizations, specifically those that generate less than 80% of their revenue from Japan. In addition, these securities must be incorporated in Japan, traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and be able to meet the funds market-cap and liquidity requirements. The fund may invest in any sector and industry group without bias. Holdings are then weighted by dividends paid over the prior annual cycle, with each individual security capped at 5% and sector and country weights at 25%. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually.
