The objective of the Fund is to increase the value of the Fund (capital appreciation) over the long term. The Fund intends to achieve this objective through investment in a portfolio of high-quality, long-term growth companies. The Fund will invest at least two-thirds of its assets in securities issued by companies listed or traded on regulated markets that have their headquarters in, or principally carry out their activities in Japan or in securities issued or guaranteed by the Japanese government. While the Fund will primarily invest in shares and other securities related to shares, it may invest in debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Japanese government, where it is deemed in the best interest of the investors. The Fund is actively managed. This means that the Fund manager applies a detailed fundamental analysis in order to selectively pick companies in a discretionary manner. The Fund is not managed relative to a benchmark index. The base currency of the Fund is JPY. For non-distributing share classes, income earned by the Fund is fully reinvested. Distributing share classes may pay income earned to investors through dividends. Due to the long-term objective of the Fund, the Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to invest for less than 5 years. Shares in the Fund trade every day that is both a business day in Dublin and a day where the primary trading exchanges in Japan are open for business. You can place an order to buy or sell shares on any such day. The Fund may use fx forwards with the aim of limiting the effect that changes in foreign exchange rates may have on the value of the Fund. Fx swaps may be used for the purpose of rolling maturing fx forward contracts.
