Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q4
The iShares MSCI Japan ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Japanese equities.
The fund tracks the MSCI Japan Index, which measures large- and mid-capitalization Japanese equities, using representative sampling to hold a portfolio with investment characteristics similar to the index rather than all its constituents. Because the fund may not hold all index components, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund generally invests at least 80% of assets in index securities or depositary receipts, with up to 20% in derivatives, cash, and non-index securities to aid tracking.
