Japanese Stockmarket

Changes over the last 6 months
On the face of it this sector is a shocker, with only five funds able to outperform the index with acceptable risk. The reality is that there is little to choose between a large number of funds, but, at the moment, few beat our benchmark. Out go Schroder Tokyo, Baring, Axa Framlington, JPM and L&G. Japan is still capable of being a dark horse in the years just ahead.

Compared to the index:
outperformance (1.2%) over 12 months, and 0% over 36 months
