About the Fund

J100 was admitted to the ASX on 25 November 2025 and is classified in the Equity Japan category. The management fee is 0.40%. An announcement on 15 October 2026 noted the appointment of Citigroup Pty Limited as fund service provider.

Country exposure

The fund’s entire country allocation is to Japan (100%).

Every holding is a company with a market value above $1 billion, and stocks make up 99.17% of the portfolio with cash at 0.83%.

Portfolio holdings

The portfolio holds 100 companies, with top ten holdings making up 34.91% of the fund. The largest positions are Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc (5.81%), Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc (3.74%), Toyota Motor Corp (3.62%), Hitachi Ltd (3.53%) and Sony Group Corp (3.18%).

The top ten also include Tokyo Electron, SoftBank Group, Mizuho Financial Group, Recruit Holdings and Advantest. Three of Japan’s major banking groups appear among the ten largest holdings.

Understanding the exposure

The five largest positions add up to 19.88% of the fund, which shows how much of the exposure rests on a small number of names. The remaining 90 holdings share the other 65.09% of the portfolio, an average of about 0.72% each. Every holding is based in Japan, so the fund’s exposure sits entirely in that one market and it has no allocation to other countries.

Fees, size and distributions

The most recent distribution was a final distribution of $1.138 per unit, with an ex-date of 2 July 2026 and payment on 16 July 2026.
