Germany (DE)Answered from the same data and calculations used above.
The ISIN of Deka MSCI Japan UCITS ETF is DE000ETFL300. It trades in EUR. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
Deka MSCI Japan UCITS ETF (EL44) charges a total expense ratio of 0.50% a year, about $50 a year on a $10,000 holding. The TER is deducted continuously from fund assets rather than billed to you, so it shows up as a drag on returns and never as a separate charge.
Measured against Japan equity (proxy: EWJ), EL44 lagged by 0.22% a year — that is the cost you actually bore, versus a headline TER of 0.50%. It trailed by LESS than its stated fee, so securities lending or tax treatment recovered part of the cost. This realised tracking difference is the honest number to compare funds on; the TER alone is not.
Deka MSCI Japan UCITS ETF (EL44) is domiciled in Germany (DE). Domicile decides the treaty rate applied to dividends the fund receives and whether the holding is exposed to US estate tax, so it affects your net return independently of the fund's fees.
Deka MSCI Japan UCITS ETF (EL44) tracks the MSCI Japan Preisindex (MSCI Japan Index (Price)). Any fund tracking the same index gives you materially the same exposure, so cost, size and share class are usually what separate the alternatives, not the strategy.
Deka MSCI Japan UCITS ETF (EL44) holds $62m in assets. Size matters mainly for liquidity and durability: larger funds tend to quote tighter spreads and are far less likely to be closed or merged away.
Over the measured window EL44 showed annualised volatility of about 7900.8% and a worst peak-to-trough fall of 99.4%. Volatility describes the size of a typical swing; the drawdown is what actually happened at the worst moment, and it is the number worth checking you could have held through.
EL44 returned 60.7% in total over the trailing five years, measured in EUR. Past performance describes what the index did, not what it will do, and for an index tracker it is mostly a statement about the market rather than about the manager.
Deka MSCI Japan UCITS ETF (EL44) launched on 2009-06-09, giving it about 17 years of history. Note that a price series for one exchange listing can start later than the fund itself if the listing was added afterwards.
