iShares MSCI Japan holds the large- and mid-cap names of the Japanese market — Toyota, Sony, Mitsubishi UFJ, Hitachi and Keyence are among the heaviest weights. It represents the same market as the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX. Because it trades in US dollars on a US exchange, its price reflects both Tokyo share moves and the yen/dollar rate.
This is a US-listed exchange-traded fund, not the country's index itself. It trades in dollars during the US session. It moves in the same direction as the local index, but currency moves and the session offset keep the percentages from matching exactly.
