TOK gives investors market-like exposure to the developed markets outside of Japan. The fund holds large- and mid-cap non-Japanese stocks covering 85% of the market capitalization. The lack of small-caps tilts the fund large with larger stakes in mega-caps. The index aims to provide exhaustive coverage of relevant investment opportunity sets with a strong emphasis on index liquidity, investability and replicability. The index is reviewed quarterly starting every February with semi-annual index reviews in May and November.
