Thanks, I'll try! Sadly, very few Japanese companies are listen in the US, especially value companies.

From what I've read, it seems to just be positioned right: big bank (SMBC) promotes it as their main value fund. In terms of performance, it's quite close to the Nikkei 225 index, which is understandable as its size forces it to invest in mostly large cap companies.
