This investment vehicle aims to replicate the performance of an index comprising the 225 most actively traded Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's prime section. Effective January 8, 2018, the benchmark index modified its calculation method, transitioning from a pure price return series to a total return series that considers net-of-tax distributions. To ensure consistency, the historical performance of the index has been retroactively simulated to align with this revised methodology, and these adjusted figures are utilized within the 'Past Performance' table.
