JPMorgan Japanese Investment Trust - Update note from QuotedData

22 June 2026

Rising sun, rising returns

The Japanese equity market has been performing very strongly for some time, and the recent election victory of the pro- economic growth and pro-reform prime minister Sanae Takaichi has given the country a further boost. Despite ongoing challenges - not least those resulting from the war in Iran - the market looks well-positioned to see further increases.

JPMorgan Japanese Investment Trust (JFJ) looks set to continue benefitting from this positive backdrop, given its focus on quality Japanese companies with particular growth potential. Nicholas Weindling, one of the co-managers of the trust, points to the ongoing and significant corporate reform in the country, which has made it a much more friendly environment for foreign investors. Recent performance from JFJ has been strong, with both net asset value (NAV) and share price total return above 30% in GBP terms for the 12 months to the end of April, ahead of both the TOPIX (the Japanese index) and wider global equities.
