In plain English
iShares MSCI Japan GBP Hedged UCITS ETF (Acc) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, launched in 2012.
It tracks the MSCI Japan 100% Hedged to GBP Net Index — large and medium-sized Japanese companies.
You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share.
Its ongoing charge is 0.64% a year — about £64 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you.
Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you.
It is currency-hedged: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against the pound.
