The abrdn Japan Equity Fund has trailed its benchmark despite a resurgence of foreign inflows in recent weeks. While there is an interesting governance reform story playing out in Japan, the high-quality JEQ portfolio is unlikely to capture much of the upside.

The abrdn Japan Equity Fund offers investors a relatively low-cost, actively managed vehicle to access Japanese equities. Despite a high active share measurement, the fund has underperformed through the last decade, justifying the persistent NAV discount.

Japan Equity Fund trades at a 12% discount to NAV and has similar holdings as other Japan ETFs. I plan to invest in Japan Equity Fund and reduce my position as I rotate into other listed companies next year.

JEQ has underperformed the MSCI ACWI Ex USA Index by 2x this year. Most non-financial Japanese stocks are well stocked with cash and we could see an increase in distributions.

After underperforming earlier in the year, Japanese equities started rising in late August and should maintain strong momentum in the coming months. The Japanese economy's growth in the recovery quarter, Q2, was solid; and the full-year growth rate for 2021 is projected at 2.4%.
