The db x-trackers JPX-Nikkei 400 UCITS ETF (DR) provides investors with access to 400 selected Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange from the large and medium-sized company and high-growth sectors. The companies are selected based on quantitative criteria (return on equity, operating profit) and qualitative criteria (reporting and disclosure standards), and weighted by their respective market capitalisation. Investors can choose between the asset class with euro currency hedging (ISIN: IE00BPVLQD13) and with no currency hedging at all (ISIN: IE00BRB36B93).
