Hang Seng Japan Topix 100 Depositary Receipt

The Hang Seng Japan Topix 100 Depositary Receipt is a financial instrument that provides investors with a convenient way to gain exposure to the Japanese stock market, specifically tracking the Topix 100 index. This index includes a selection of the top 100 companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, encompassing various leading sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and financial services. The depositary receipt is designed to facilitate trading and investment in these top-ranked companies through the Hong Kong securities market, leveraging the cross-border investment platform provided by Hang Seng Indexes. It allows investors outside of Japan, particularly in Hong Kong, to participate in the economic growth and corporate performance of Japan's most significant and influential businesses. As an important bridge between the Japanese and international markets, this asset offers diversification benefits and a strategic vehicle for accessing the potential of one of Asia's largest economies without direct ownership of Japanese-listed securities.
