"Vanguard FTSE Japan UCITS ETF" is an exchange-traded investment fund (ETF). It refers to the FTSE Japan Index. This index reflects the development of 509 Japanese stocks and is therefore very well diversified. The ETF replicates its index using full physical replication, so it contains all the securities of its reference index. The ETF's earnings (dividends) are distributed to the investors. The fund company Vanguard claims a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.15% per year. The yearly average divergence from the index performance (Tracking Difference) since 2014 was 0.18% per year. Therefore, the ETF was slightly more expensive than the TER suggests.
