Solactive Whitney Japan Critical Technologies Index TR

The index intends to track companies that support critical emerging technologies across Japan and its allies. Companies are selected based on both affiliation with the technology modernization priorities as defined by the Cabinet of Japan and their Geostrategic Risk Rating score. The industry affiliation maps designated technology priorities to granular industry classifications, a Patent score further measures a company’s degree of affiliation with the technology priorities through its patent filings, and the Geostrategic Risk Rating score measures entanglement in risky countries, as designated by the Japanese government. The result is a diversified constituent list who align to Japanese modernization priorities with minimized geopolitical risk from sanctions, trade, and conflict.
