Amundi JPX-Nikkei 400 UCITS ETF - DAILY HEDGED GBP (C)

What this fund is

Amundi JPX-Nikkei 400 UCITS ETF - DAILY HEDGED GBP (C) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Amundi, traded under the ticker JPHG (ISIN LU1681039308). In a single purchase you get a diversified basket of holdings rather than a stake in just one business. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. It follows the JPX-Nikkei 400 Net Total Return Daily GBP Hedged Index index (passive investing): it tracks the market rather than relying on a manager, keeping running costs down, and its largest holdings include TOKYO ELECTRON JPY50, MURATA MANUFACT CO LTD JPY50 and SOFTBANK GROUP CORP. Geographically it leans ~100% Japan.

Its heaviest sectors are ~25.6% Industrials and ~19.2% Information Technology. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.18% a year — about €18 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. Income such as dividends is automatically reinvested inside the fund (an accumulating share class), so returns compound without you doing anything. It tracks its index through a swap agreement rather than owning every holding (synthetic replication); it is domiciled in Luxembourg and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in GBP.

Its price has swung about 19.2% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2018. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results. (Fund data sourced from Amundi.)
