It tracks the MSCI Japan Select Screened Index - JPY - Japan Yen - Benchmark TR Net — 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 0.25% a year — about £25 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 to US dollars, not to the pound: it aims to remove most of the effect of exchange-rate moves against US dollars, so a holder who counts in pounds still has currency risk. Latest close: **$53.70** (13/11/2026). ## Key facts | Fact | Value | |---|---| | Ticker (LSE) | XDNU | | ISIN | IE00BTGD1B38 | | Category | Japan & Asia Pacific | | Type | ETF | | Provider | Xtrackers | | Tracks | MSCI Japan Select Screened Index - JPY - Japan Yen - Benchmark TR Net | | Income | Accumulating | | Ongoing charge | 0.25% a year (£25 per £10,000) | | Fund size | £4.5m | | Launched | 2015 | | Domicile | Ireland | | UK reporting fund status | Yes — on HMRC’s list of reporting funds (list of 02/11/2026); reporting fund since 31/07/2015 | ## Past returns (periods to 13/11/2026) After the fund's ongoing charges.
