Our read on BBJP

ETF.net Research

AJapan's whole board for 0.19% a year. JPMorgan's BetaBuilders fund holds roughly 170 large and mid-cap Japanese stocks and has grown into a multi-billion-dollar way to own Tokyo without paying legacy-tracker prices.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to closely track, before fees and expenses, the performance of a Japan-focused equity index.

Why people hold it

  1. 010.19% a year, well under what the older iShares Japan trackers (EWJ at 0.49%, JPXN at 0.48%) charge for similar broad exposure.
  2. 02Roughly 170 Japanese large and mid caps in one line item, tracking a Morningstar Japan index closely rather than making stock calls.
  3. 03A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, which tends to keep the cost of getting in and out modest.
  4. 04Running since 2018 and one of the stronger implementations in the single-country Japan group.

Worth knowing

  1. 01One country, one market cycle. Japan-only equity means no cushion from anywhere else when Tokyo has a bad stretch.
  2. 02Not the cheapest ticket to Japan: Franklin's FLJP runs 0.09%, and FLJH is the currency-hedged option in the same peer set.
  3. 03Distributions land once or twice a year, not quarterly, so income arrives in lumps.
