iShares Japan Fundamental Index Fund (C$ Hedged) has been designed to replicate the performance of the FTSE RAFI Japan C$ Hedged Index. The index weights constituents using four accounting factors, rather than market capitalization, These four factors include: total cash dividends (five-year average of all regular and special distributions); free cash flow (five-year average cash flow); total sales (five-year average total sales); book equity value (current period book equity value). The iShares Japan Fundamental Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) offers the advantages of an active management strategy with the highlights of a passive investment: lower turnover costs and transparent rules-based selection, while retaining high investment capacity. By using these factors rather than market cap to weight stocks, Fundamental Indexation takes advantage of price movements by reducing the index’s holdings in constituents whose prices have risen relative to other constituents, and increasing holdings in companies whose prices have fallen behind. The iShares Japan Fundamental Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) will hedge its exposure to Japanese currency to reduce foreign currency return risks for Canadian investors. |
