Reliance Japan Equity Fund

Reliance Japan Equity Fund

For the first time in India you have a fund that gives you full exposure to the Japanese market.


The fund has chosen the direct and not the fund-of-funds route. The fund will rely on investment advisory services from Nissay Asset Management, the asset management arm of Nissay Life Insurance, Japan's largest life insurer. This will be supplemented by third-party research reports.

To reduce risk, the fund will invest in 30 top stocks that meet the following criteria: the company must have a high market share and a competitive edge; the company's name and products must enjoy strong brand equity; earnings must be solid and stable; and growth potential must be above industry average.

The Japanese economy and its equity market are both third largest globally. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policies appear to be working and many experts are optimistic about that market's prospects. Valuations are also attractive currently. Owing to recent reforms in the country, more pension and household money may flow into equities.

Being a country-specific fund, the fund could potentially be more risky than a more diversified offering. If the rupee appreciates against the yen, the fund's returns could be affected. Investors should also be aware that prior to its current revival, the Japanese economy was in the doldrums for a long time.

Investors with a high risk appetite may invest in this fund. Construct your international portfolio with a diversified fund first and then add a country specific fund. Investment in this fund should be tactical, that is, invest if you are convinced that the Japanese market will do well and watch that market closely. You may allocate up to 5% of your equity portfolio to the fund.
