HJPIX Overview

On this page you'll find an in-depth profile of Hennessy Japan Fund Institutional Class. Learn about the key management, total assets, investment strategy and contact information of HJPIX among other information.

Investment Strategy

The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of Japanese companies. The fund's manager considers a Japanese company to be a company organized under the laws of Japan, for which the principal securities trading market is Japan, or that has a majority of its assets or business in Japan. While it is considered a "diversified" mutual fund, it employs a relatively concentrated investment strategy and may hold securities of fewer issuers than other diversified funds.
