Why people hold it
- Local hands on the wheel: Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking sub-advises, screening Japanese small caps on market cap and credit risk with growth, quality and value inputs.mufgetfs.com
- Tight mandate: at least 80% of net assets in small-cap companies domiciled in Japan or doing most of their business there. No quiet drift into mega-cap exporters.aaii.com
- MUFG's first ETF for US investors, launched 2025: an institutional Japanese small-cap strategy repackaged into a 1940 Act fund you can buy in a brokerage account.ncnewsonline.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.85%, it costs more than the typical active international equity fund (0.60% median) and roughly triple a broad international small-cap option like AVDS at 0.30%.
- It launched in September 2025 and trades thinly, so there is little live record and limit orders matter more here than in a big, busy fund.
- Currency rides along: yen-earning businesses in a dollar-priced fund, so exchange-rate moves feed into what you see.mufgetfs.com
