FTSE Japan 100% Hedged to USD Index – ETF Tracker

The index is free float-adjusted and market cap weighted, comprising Japanese large- and mid-cap stocks, screened for liquidity. The long equity positions in the index are reconstituted and rebalanced each March and September. The index seeks to eliminate exposure to (or “hedge” against) fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen. In order to effect such a hedge, it applies one-month currency forward rates to the index’s total equity exposure to the Japanese yen. The currency hedge is reset on a monthly basis.
