Description

Invesco MSCI Japan ESG Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF Acc tracks the issuer-declared index: MSCI Japan ESG Climate Paris Aligned Benchmark PAB Select Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.15%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is physical replication (it buys the index constituents); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 38 million euro, was launched on 6 December 2021 and is domiciled in Ireland.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

Investment objective: The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve the net total return performance of the MSCI Japan ESG Climate Paris Aligned Benchmark Select Index (the "Index"), less fees, expenses and transaction costs, thereby taking an approach that seeks to reduce the Fund’s exposure to transition and physical climate risks whilst pursuing opportunities arising from a transition to a lower carbon economy and aligning with the Paris Agreement requirements. Dividend Policy: This Share Class does not pay you income, but instead reinvests it to grow your capital, in line with its stated objectives.

Redemption and Dealing of Shares:The Fund's shares are listed on one or more Stock Exchange(s). Investors can buy or sell shares daily through an intermediary directly or on Stock Exchange(s) on which the shares are traded. In exceptional circumstances investors will be permitted to redeem their shares directly from the Umbrella Fund in accordance with the redemption procedures set out in the prospectus, subject to any applicable laws and relevant charges. Investment approach: The Fund is a passively managed ETF. To achieve the investment objective, the Fund will, as far as possible and practicable, hold all the securities in the Index in their respective weightings. The Fund may use derivative instruments for the purposes of managing risk, reducing costs, generating additional capital or income. The Fund may engage in securities lending, whereby 90% of the revenues arising from securities lending will be returned to the Fund and 10% of the revenues will be retained by the securities lending agent. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund is an Article 9 Fund (it has a sustainable investment objective) for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR"). The Fund’s base currency is USD.

Intended Retail InvestorThe Fund is intended for investors aiming for long term capital growth, who may not have specific financial expertise but are able to make an informed investment decision based on this document, the supplement, and the prospectus, have a risk appetite consistent with the risk indicator displayed below and understand that there is no capital guarantee or protection (100% of capital is at risk). Practical Information Fund Depositary: The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch, Riverside Two, Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 2, D02 KV60, Ireland. Find out more: This document is specific to the Fund. Further information about the Fund can be obtained from the supplement, the prospectus, annual and interim reports. The prospectus, annual and interim reports are prepared for the Umbrella Fund, of which the Fund is a sub-fund. These documents are available free of charge in English. They can be obtained along with other information, such as share prices, at https://etf.invesco.com (select your country and navigate to the Documents section on the product page), or by calling +353 1 439 8000. The assets of the Fund are segregated as a matter of Irish law and as such, in Ireland, the assets of one sub-fund will not be available to satisfy the liabilities of another sub-fund. This position may be considered differently by the courts in jurisdictions outside of Ireland. Subject to satisfying certain criteria as set out in the prospectus, investors may be able to exchange their investment in the Fund for shares in another sub-fund of the Umbrella which is being offered at that time. The Index: The Index tracks the performance of large and mid-capitalisation companies across Japan and aims to reduce exposure to transition and physical climate risks whilst pursuing opportunities arising from the transition to a lower carbon economy while aligning with the Paris Agreement requirements. The Index also provides exposure to companies with high ESG metrics and incorporates the TCFD (Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures) recommendations and is designed to exceed the minimum standards of the EU Paris-Aligned Benchmark as set out in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818.The Index is constructed from the MSCI Japan Index (the "Parent Index") by applying the index provider’s exclusionary criteria. The remaining constituents are then subject to an optimisation which has the aim of aligning the Index to the objectives of the Paris Agreement by reducing the weighting of companies exposed to climate

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
Source: Invesco. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 0 of the last 4 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

Windows longer than the available price history cannot be computed and are not shown: they will appear on their own as time passes. Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.20%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
