“Starting today and for the first time, U.S. investors can access the leading benchmark of Japanese stocks with a single, liquid, low-cost ETF,” said Daniel J. McCabe, Chief Executive Officer of Precidian Funds. “We are honored to have been chosen by Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management as the exclusive provider of the Nikkei 225 to U.S. investors.”
