To pursue its goal, the Fund normally invests at least 80 per of its net assets in equity securities of companies that are tied economically to Japan, including other investment companies that provide investment exposure to such securities. The Fund considers a company to be tied economically to Japan if: (1) the issuer is organized under the laws of Japan or the issuer maintains its principal place of business in Japan; (2) the securities of the issuer are principally listed on Japans stock exchanges regardless of the country in which the issuer is organized; or (3) the issuer has at least 50% of its assets in Japan or derives 50% or more of its total revenue from goods and/or services produced or sold in Japan.
