Pictet-Japan Index P EUR LU0474966750

Pictet-Japan Index P EUR is an index fund managed by Pictet-Japan, classified by Morningstar as Japan Large-Cap Blend Equity and domiciled in Luxembourg. It was launched on 8 June 2011 and manages 310.24m GBP. Its ongoing charge is 0.45% a year. It accumulates its income (no dividends paid out).

It belongs to the Japan family. Japan is the largest developed market in Asia and carries its own weight inside global indices. People who buy it separately usually do so to overweight it relative to what a world fund already gives them.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The fund seeks to achieve a performance comparable to the reference index. MSCI Japan Index, an index that does not take into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. The Fund is passively managed and its Reference Index.
