FS_Perf_H1 The share class shown has adopted a hedging strategy intended to reduce the effect of exchange rate movements between the currency of the Fund’s investment strategy and the currency of the share class. The benchmark returns displayed are shown in the reference currency of the Fund’s investment strategy (JPY), while share class returns are shown in the reference currency of share class (USD). As a result, the returns shown above reflect the effect of the hedging strategy and one can compare the returns of the Fund (net of fees) relative to its benchmark index without the impact of exchange rate movements on index returns.
