iShares MSCI Japan Small Cap
Japan small companies
Details
ETF description
This ETF is designed to track the performance of small‑sized companies in Japan. These companies are selected based on specific criteria, including their size, liquidity, and financial stability.
This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking to diversify their portfolio by adding smaller companies with growth potential. However, it might also carry more volatility compared to large‑cap investments due to the nature of small‑cap stocks.
Issuer details
iShares ETFs are issued and managed by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company.
With 800+ products globally and over $2trn in assets (as at June 2024), iShares ETFs are a flexible, low‑cost way for investors to gain exposure to various market segments, including fixed income, emerging markets and broad‑based indexes.
Index details
The FTSE RAFI UK 100 index offers investors a unique approach to gaining exposure to the largest UK companies by emphasizing fundamental factors such as sales, cash flow, dividends, and book value, rather than market capitalization. This fundamental weighting method aims to provide a more stable and potentially higher return profile compared to traditional market‑cap‑weighted indices. Its systematic approach and focus on long‑term fundamentals make it an essential component for portfolios seeking enhanced performance and diversification within the UK market.

ETFs have spreads and annual charges and come with risks like market volatility, liquidity, and concentration, and may not always accurately track their index. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. The value of your investments, including any income, can rise or fall. You may get back less than you originally invested.
Some ETF issuers featured on our platform pay InvestEngine a fee for joint marketing activities. These arrangements are commercial in nature and help support the creation and promotion of educational content and ETF investing. All ETFs available on our platform are subject to our standard due diligence process and the arrangements do not influence product placement or the portfolio construction decisions made in discretionary portfolios, which remain aligned to the stated investment strategy and objectives.
