WisdomTree Japan Equity UCITS ETF EUR Hedged Acc

WisdomTree Japan Equity UCITS ETF EUR Hedged Acc is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with exposure to a broad and diversified portfolio of Japanese equities while neutralizing fluctuations between the Japanese yen and the euro. The fund tracks the WisdomTree Japan EUR-Hedged Equity UCITS Index, which includes dividend-paying Japanese companies selected and weighted based on fundamental factors and proprietary risk screens for quality and momentum, as well as adherence to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. This index prioritizes export-oriented firms with significant global revenue streams, seeking to capture income potential while maintaining a strict risk management process. The ETF uses currency forward contracts to hedge against yen-to-euro movements, helping euro-based investors manage currency risk. Structured as an accumulating, physically replicating Irish-domiciled fund, it reinvests all dividends, allowing returns to compound within the ETF. The portfolio spans nearly 500 holdings across sectors such as industrials, consumer discretionary, financials, and technology, reflecting the diverse landscape of the Japanese economy. With a total expense ratio of 0.45% per annum and a fund size around EUR 63 million, the ETF plays a specialized role for those seeking Japanese equity exposure with currency risk mitigation.
