ISIN: SG9999010466
Bloomberg Ticker: NIKJDEU SP

Overview

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a total return of capital growth and income over the medium to long term by investing in equity investments listed and traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange

The Fund's investment focus is to invest in a diversified portfolio of dividend producing equity investments listed and traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange that offer attractive and sustainable dividends from companies with relatively strong sustainable cash flows, stable growth and stable dividend payout.

The Fund will be actively managed and may allocate up to 30% of its NAV to cash to manage any downside market fluctuations.

(Please note that for the Hedged Classes, the Managers intend to mitigate currency risk by hedging the currency exposure of the assets of the Fund that are attributable to each of these Hedged Classes to the relevant currency in which they are denominated using currency forwards.)

^ Prior to 1 June 2017, the benchmark against which the Fund’s performance is measured is the TOPIX Total Return Index (the “Benchmark”). With effect from 1 June 2017, the Benchmark has been removed and there will no longer be any benchmark for the Fund. This is because pursuant to the investment objective of the Fund, the Fund is managed on a total return basis and as such, it does not seek to outperform any benchmark.
