- iShares MSCI Japan Value ETF (EWJV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI Japan Value Index, which comprises large- and mid-capitalization Japanese equities exhibiting value characteristics and relatively lower valuations. EWJV offers investors exposure to a market cap-weighted portfolio of approximately 122 Japanese value stocks across diverse sectors including financials, industrials, consumer discretionary, communication services, and materials; top holdings include Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (3.67%), Mitsubishi Corporation (3.50%), SoftBank Group Corp. (3.22%), Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (2.80%), and KDDI Corporation (2.25%). The fund provides semi-annual distributions with a trailing twelve-month dividend yield of 3.17%, an expense ratio of 0.15%, and total net assets exceeding $500 million as of late 2025. Launched on March 5, 2019 and issued by BlackRock under the iShares brand, EWJV is domiciled in the United States and primarily targets institutional and retail investors seeking value-oriented exposure to the Japanese equity market. The fund operates geographically through its underlying holdings in Japan, with nearly 100% allocation to non-U.S. stocks listed on Japanese exchanges. It is managed by a team including Jennifer Hsui (since inception), Paul Whitehead (since 2022), and recent additions Peter Sietsema, Matt Waldron, and Steven White (since April 2025). In recent developments, EWJV has delivered a one-year total return of approximately 22.83% and a year-to-date return of 27.19% as of late 2025, reflecting strong performance amid Japan's economic rebound and Bank of Japan policy shifts; the fund hit new 52-week highs earlier in the year and saw reduced short interest in 2023. BlackRock, as issuer, continues to expand its iShares ETF suite with new product launches such as outcome-based buffers and active alternatives in 2025, though no specific acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes directly impact EWJV; the fund maintains its core multi-factor value strategy without reported reorganizations or name changes. Assets under management have grown steadily to around $523 million, supported by favorable market conditions in Japanese value equities.
