Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2019, the fund manages about 1.3 bn € and charges a TER of 0.10% — 10 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is automatically reinvested in the fund (accumulating).
Vanguard FTSE Japan UCITS ETF USD Accumulation GBP competes with 4 other products on the same index (FTSE Japan): it ranks 2nd by fund size and 2nd by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.10% against a group median of 0.10%. It has been listed since 2019, 7 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 10 € a year. The cheapest of the group is Franklin FTSE Japan UCITS ETF at 0.09%, or 9 € on the same amount: a difference of 1 € every year, roughly 10 € over ten years before compounding.
Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 25.5% of the portfolio.
Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in USD. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
The fund is domiciled in Ireland, which determines the tax treatment of income received by the fund and the supervisory authority.
