AAXJ selects its holdings from a nearly identical universe to our segment benchmark. It does diverge a bit by limiting its universe to the top 85% of companies by market cap, so it does tilt to large- and mid-caps. The fund primarily invests in Asian countries from both developed and emerging markets excluding Japan. The index is rebalanced semi-annually each May and November.
