Asset Management One Expands ETF Offerings

Asset Management One, a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the addition of two new ETFs to its existing Japanese government bond series. This series now accommodates a total of seven ETFs, featuring the newly launched "One ETF Japanese Government Bonds 27-30 Years" and "One ETF Japanese Government Bonds Futures Inverse Index."

With the Bank of Japan anticipated to lift its negative interest rate policy in March 2024, investors' interest in Japanese government bonds has notably increased as current interest rates have reached their highest levels in three decades. Recognizing these changing interest environments, Asset Management One had previously introduced five actively managed Japanese government bond ETFs in January 2026, marking a pioneering step in the Japanese market.

The recent addition of two more ETFs caters not only to the growing potential demand for investment in ultra-long-term bonds but also addresses the necessity for hedging options amidst the rising interest rate scenario. As a result, the "One ETF Japanese Government Bonds" series is poised to effectively meet the comprehensive operational needs concerning Japanese government bonds—from short-term investments to ultra-long-term holdings and hedging strategies.

Asset Management One aims to provide investors with fresh options that allow them to capitalize on the increasing allure of the Japanese government bond market, thereby addressing a wide range of investment needs across various investor profiles.

Risk and Costs Associated with Investment Trusts

While engaging with investment trusts, investors must acknowledge that these involve market risks inherent in trading bonds and other securities. Changes in market conditions or the credit status of the issuing entities may lead to fluctuations in the basic value of the funds, with no guarantee of the original investment. Consequently, there is a possibility for losses should the market value decrease.

Costs Incurred by Investors

Investors will be responsible for a series of costs associated with their investments, which may include:

• - Purchase Fee: Up to 3.85% (tax included)
• - Redemption Fee: May vary based on market conditions, thus no fixed rate can be predefined.
• - Trust Property Preservation Fee: Up to 0.5%.

In addition to these direct costs, indirect costs incurred via trust property include:

• - Management Fee (Trust Fee): Up to an annual rate of 2.463% (tax included).

It’s critical to note that the outlined fees represent maximum possible rates, and additional costs may apply depending on the investment’s duration and other factors at play.

Investors should read the investment trust brochure thoroughly and comprehend the specifics of each option before making any investment decisions, as different funds may exhibit varying risk profiles and costs due to differences in targeted investment assets, restrictions, and markets. The guidelines may also alter with revisions to tax laws or other regulatory changes.
