What stands out in EWJV's data

Japanese value-style equities, tilted toward income-paying stocks.

Priced cheaper than the typical Japan fund — you pay less for each yen of earnings.

Trailing P/E multiple of 14.4x sits below the category median of 16.4x, among the cheapest 10% of peers. Its return on invested capital of 7.7% is low, so the discount partly reflects weaker profitability.

A value-oriented sleeve for a Japan allocation, anchored by dividend-paying stocks.
