The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) is a passively managed fund that invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its underlying index, or in instruments with substantially identical economic characteristics. The underlying index tracks the performance of large- and mid-capitalization companies in the Japanese equity market, providing exposure to Japans established public companies across sectors such as industrials, consumer discretionary, and financials.
As an index-tracking ETF, EWJ replicates rather than actively selects holdings, which typically results in lower management fees compared to actively managed funds. The product, launched in 1996 and managed by BlackRocks iShares brand, offers U.S. investors a way to gain diversified exposure to the Japanese stock market, the third-largest equity market globally by total market capitalization.
