Global X Japan Launches New ETF

Global X Japan, a subsidiary of the Daiwa Securities Group, has recently announced that it has received approval from the Tokyo Stock Exchange to launch its upcoming financial product—the “Global X JPY Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF” (Trading Code: 502A). The ETF is scheduled to go live on January 29, 2026. This move signifies a significant step forward in providing investors with innovative products tailored to meet the demands of a changing economic environment in Japan.

Overview of the ETF

The Global X JPY Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF is designed to invest primarily in domestic and international public securities and commercial papers, with the goal of ensuring stable yields and steady growth of trust assets. Given the prolonged period of ultra-low interest rates in Japan, there have been limited products available that serve as reliable alternatives for depositors. However, with the anticipated arrival of a rate increase cycle, this ETF aims to fill that gap by providing access to short-term yen-denominated bonds, a category previously missing in Japan’s financial landscape.

As an innovative investment vehicle, this ETF also acts as a potential temporary holding for cash reserves for investors utilizing online brokerage accounts.

Key Features of the ETF

• - Fund Name: Global X JPY Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF
• - Trading Code: 502A
• - Distribution Frequency: Twice a year
• - Investment Focus: Public bonds and commercial papers

The ETF is structured to prioritize consistent returns while enabling the trust assets to grow steadily. This is particularly appealing in a market where the interest rate environment is anticipated to evolve. Investors can utilize this fund as a proactive means of managing their portfolios—all while addressing the challenges posed by current economic conditions.

Pricing and Risks

It's important for investors to be aware that the fund does carry certain investment risks, particularly due to its exposure to market fluctuations typical of securities investments. As such, the fund’s unit prices are subject to change, meaning that investors' initial contributions are not guaranteed and could potentially decrease. Factors contributing to changes in the unit price include:

• - Market volatility of public bonds (price fluctuation risk, credit risk)
• - Other external elements that may impact market conditions
