What stands out in EWJV's data
Japanese value-style equities, tilted toward income-paying stocks.
Trades at the same price as the typical Japan fund — but earns far less on its capital.
Its EBITDA multiple of 10.6x sits in line with the category median, but return on invested capital of 6.1% trails the 13.9% norm — a low profitability that offsets the neutral price.
A value-oriented sleeve for a Japan allocation, anchored by dividend-paying stocks.
