Vanguard FTSE Japan ETF

The Vanguard FTSE Japan ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to replicate the performance of the FTSE Japan Index, a benchmark capturing the large- and mid-cap equities across Japan’s public markets. Utilizing a passive, physically replicating investment approach, the fund holds shares in all or a representative sample of index constituents, offering diverse exposure to Japanese sectors such as consumer cyclicals, technology, financial services, and industrials. Notable holdings typically include companies like Toyota Motor Corporation, Sony Group, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, reflecting Japan's prominent corporate landscape. The ETF is structured for efficient, cost-effective access to the Japanese equity market, with a low ongoing charge ratio and options for both accumulating and distributing share classes. As part of the broader Vanguard family, the fund plays a significant role in international portfolios, facilitating geographic diversification and allowing investors to track Japan’s equity performance within a well-regulated, liquid vehicle domiciled in Ireland.
