HEWJ
iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Japan ETFHEWJ Fund Description
HEWJ tracks an index of large- and midcap Japanese stocks, while fully hedging out its exposure to the yen relative to the US dollar.
HEWJ Factset Analytics Insight
HEWJ is literally a currency-hedged version of iShares' blockbuster Japan ETF, EWJ. HEWJ holds EWJ and overlays the ETF holding with forward currency contracts to neutralize its exposure to the yen. EWJ is an exceptionally market-like fund with neutral exposures, so HEWJ's sector biases are minimal. It excludes small-caps and therefore tilts slightly large. Tradability is enhanced by the fact that EWJ is such a massively liquid fund, which makes it easy to trade in small or large blocks. HEWJ's tracking record is distorted by holding EWJ since the stocks in HEWJ's underlying index and EWJ itself (used in HEWJ's NAV) trade at different times and therefore can have very different end-of day prices. Overall, HEWJ gets the equity exposure that EWJ provides without the gains or losses from the yen.
