Why Japan Now?
Japan is in the midst of a profound economic transformation, creating compelling opportunities for investors. After decades of deflation, the country is experiencing a corporate resurgence marked by steady earnings growth and improved capital efficiency. Structural reforms in corporate governance are driving greater alignment between shareholder interests and long-term performance.
At the same time, powerful labor market tailwinds—including the highest wage growth since 1991 and rising female workforce participation—are fueling domestic momentum. Coupled with valuations that remain attractive relative to U.S. and European markets, we believe Japan’s small cap landscape offers a unique window for growth-oriented, forward-looking investment.

The MJSC ETF seeks companies with pioneering business models and long-term growth potential through economic cycles at reasonable valuations.

Market Inefficiency as an Advantage
Japan’s small cap equity market is under-researched, creating a unique opportunity to uncover undervalued companies that are often overlooked by traditional sell-side analysts.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investing in securities of foreign companies involves risks generally not associated with investments in the securities of U.S. companies, including the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability. Investing in emerging market countries involves risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. In many less developed markets, there is less governmental supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than there is in more developed markets. Because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund are invested in Japanese securities, the Fund’s performance is expected to be closely tied to the political, social and economic conditions within Japan.

Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to Fund assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fund, the investment adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent Fund investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. Securities of companies with small capitalizations tend to be riskier than securities of companies with large capitalizations. This is because small companies typically have smaller product lines and less access to liquidity than large cap companies, and are therefore more sensitive to economic downturns. The value of the Fund’s investments in REITs may change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs.
