Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 30.1% 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 JPY. 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.
