Spdr Russellnomura Small Cap Japan

Sure, I can provide some general information about the exchange-traded fund (ETF) SPDR Russell/Nomura Small Cap Japan (DGS).

DGS is a fund that tracks the Russell/Nomura Small Cap (R Japan Sicav) Index, which is designed to measure the performance of small-cap companies in the Japanese equity market. Small-cap companies are generally defined as those with a market capitalization below a certain threshold, which, in the case of the Russell/Nomura Small Cap Index, is the bottom 15% of the Russell Japan Index by market capitalization.

DGS seeks to replicate the performance of the index by investing in a portfolio of stocks that closely mirrors the index's constituents. The fund typically holds over 1,000 individual stocks, with the top 10 holdings typically accounting for less than 5% of the portfolio.

Some key statistics about DGS as of February 2023 include:

* Net assets: $2.3 billion

* Expense ratio: 0.59%

* Dividend yield: 1.8%

* Average market capitalization of holdings: $2.5 billion

* Price-to-earnings ratio: 13.9

* Price-to-book ratio: 1.3

DGS is listed on the NYSE Arca and trades in U.S. dollars, making it accessible to U.S. investors seeking exposure to small-cap Japanese equities. However, as with any investment, DGS carries risks and investors should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. Potential investors should consult the prospectus and carefully review the risk factors before making an investment decision.
