J100 questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF?
Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF holds 98 securities, and its ten largest positions make up 35.5% of the fund, more spread out than the 48.1% typical of Asia equity funds. That makes it moderately diversified.
Its country exposure is almost entirely Japan (100.0%), based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does J100 double up with most?
J100 shares the most holdings with iShares MSCI Japan ETF (IJP) (81% overlap), Betashares Japan Currency Hedged ETF (HJPN) (76% overlap) and VanEck MSCI International Value ETF (VLUE) (19% overlap). Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
At 81%, owning both J100 and IJP would mostly double up on the same investments rather than spread your money further.
How is Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF managed – active or passive?
Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Asia equity funds, active funds charge a median 1.18% a year and index funds 0.60%.
What will I pay in fees for J100?
J100 charges a management fee of 0.40% a year, about $40 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 51% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among Asia equity funds, the median is 0.67%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include iShares Asia 50 ETF (IAA) at 0.29%.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Fidelity Asia Active ETF (FASI) at 1.16% and Fidelity India Active ETF (FIIN) at 1.20% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.26% for J100.
Does Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF follow a theme?
No. Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Asia) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of J100?
As at 2 Sept 2026, J100's ten largest holdings are Mitsubishi Ufj F (5.9%), Toyota Motor (4.0%), Smfg (3.9%), Hitachi Ltd (3.5%), Sony Group Corp (3.4%), Mizuho Financial (3.1%), Recruit Holdings (3.0%), Tokyo Electron (2.9%), Advantest Corp (2.5%) and Softbank Group C (2.4%). Together they make up 34.5% of the fund.
It follows an index. Most broad share indices weight companies by market size, so the largest companies take the biggest share; the exact rules for J100's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 35.5% compares with 48.1% for similar funds.
How well has Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF performed?
Based on its category, Global X Japan Topix 100 ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
J100 doesn't have a full year of price history yet, so we can't judge its performance.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for J100; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.40% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
