SCJ offers broad exposure to the small-cap segment of the Japanese equity market. The fund covers approximately 14% of the Japanese companies by market-cap. Selection and weighting of its constituents are mainly based on a traditional, market-cap-focused strategy. The fund may invest in various industry groups without any sector bias. Overall, SCJ effectively captures the Japanese small-cap space and may be used as a core holding or as a complement to EWJ which, on the other hand, concentrates on large- and midcap Japanese stocks. The index is reviewed on a quarterly basis.
