JPY offers a way to access opportunities to the Japanese equity market, investing in a range of equity-related securities, including common and preferred stocks, warrants, and rights. Portfolio construction is based on an active, research-based approach, identifying sectors with high growth potential at different stages of the economic cycle. Rather than focusing on a specific industry or market capitalization, the fund adapts to changing market conditions. The fund may invest in ETFs. Additionally, it may use futures and swaps for hedging purposes or boost returns. The fund may hedge exposure to the Japanese yen relative to the US dollar through forward contracts when deemed appropriate.
