From 26 April to 6 May 2019 the Tokyo Stock Exchange will be closed during Japan’s Golden Week holiday, which is longer than usual to mark the abdication of Japan’s emperor.

 

Jupiter have decided that utilising our standard approach to FVP (Fair Value Pricing) over the period will be sufficient to address the market closure. We therefore have no plans to suspend the fund. There will be no change to Jupiter normal trading of our Japanese funds during this period and the daily price file will continue to be released BAU.

Due to the Imperial succession in Japan, the annual ‘Golden Week’ holiday period has been extended to 10 days. As a result the non-dealing days on impacted funds will extend from Friday 26 April until Monday 6 May 2019 inclusive. This means investors will be unable to buy, sell or switch shares or units in affected funds until dealing recommences on Tuesday 7 May 2019. 

This applies to:
