Matthews Japan Fund Investor Class (MJFOX)

The fund's primary objective is to achieve substantial capital appreciation over the long term. To this end, under typical market circumstances, it commits a minimum of 80% of its total net assets—which may include capital acquired through borrowing for investment purposes—to the common and preferred stocks issued by businesses situated in Japan. For the purpose of this strategy, a company, issuer, or its securities are deemed "located" within a country or region if they maintain significant operational, economic, or legal ties to that geographical area.
