About this ETF
MJSC invests in small-cap Japanese companies with pioneering business models, strong competitive positions, capable management, and attractive valuations. The portfolio includes common and preferred stocks, depositary receipts, REITs, IPOs, and ETFs. Stock selection follows a thematic process, combining quantitative screens and proprietary supply chain analysis to identify early-stage, high-growth companies positioned for structural and cyclical trends. The strategy seeks to capitalize on inefficiencies in Japan's under-researched small-cap market. While focused on Japan, the fund may allocate up to 20% of assets to companies outside Japan, including both emerging and developed markets. Up to one-third of the portfolio may be lent with collateral safeguards to generate additional income. Positions are actively monitored, with sales initiated when growth prospects weaken or valuations become stretched.
