Japan Fund
Ticker: CNJFX
Inception Date: 07/10/1989
Mutual Fund Overview: Invest in Japan
Made up of 6,852 islands with a population of over 100 million, Japan ranks as one of the world’s largest and most productive economies — and we believe it to be one of the best Asian countries to invest in. The country has a strong position in the world market being home to some of the most recognizable corporations from automobile manufacturers to electronics, making it an attractive investment target for mutual fund managers.
The Japan Fund managers believe Japanese companies are well positioned to benefit from any growth in the Asian region and believes exploring investment options by accessing these Asian markets through the well-established Japanese companies is an underutilized strategy by many investors.
As a Japanese investment fund, the managers review conventional financial company metrics in addition to these macro factors that could impact investment decisions:
• Government intervention and support of the economy
• Business access to export markets in the region
• Internal and external consumer demand
Commonwealth Funds is proud to be associated with the Japan Fund, established in 1989, providing shareholders the opportunity to bring it home.
