The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.48% and offers a dividend yield of 0.97%. The substantial asset base and high ranking suggest significant investor adoption relative to the broader universe of tracked funds. This combination of size, cost, and income profile positions the fund as a notable option within its specific sector classification.
Recent price action shows a 1-day return of +0.86% and a 1-week gain of +2.99%, followed by a 1-month return of +2.65%. Over longer horizons, the fund demonstrates accelerating growth with a 3-month return of +10.98% and a 6-month return of +15.18%. Year-to-date performance stands at +22.88%, while the 1-year return reaches +48.57%. The long-term trajectory is particularly pronounced, with a 3-year return totaling +123.63%. This pattern indicates a consistent upward trend that has strengthened significantly as the investment horizon extends from daily fluctuations to multi-year periods.
DXJ carries a volatility label of Moderate and exhibits a beta of 0.48, indicating lower sensitivity to broad market movements compared to the benchmark. The fund has achieved a Sharpe ratio of 2.42, suggesting efficient risk-adjusted returns relative to the volatility experienced. Despite the moderate volatility classification, the maximum drawdown recorded is -22.19%, reflecting the potential for significant temporary declines during market stress. The combination of a low beta and high Sharpe ratio implies the fund has generated substantial returns while maintaining a relatively stable profile compared to higher-beta peers. However, the max drawdown figure highlights that investors must be prepared for periods of notable capital erosion even within a moderate volatility framework.

DXJ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.12% and average daily volume is 343K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $7.08B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: DXJ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
