Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (JPX) and London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEG) agreed in July 2018 to collaborate on financial market infrastructure initiatives designed to promote global sustainable investment and on product marketing initiatives. Today, an ETF that invests mainly in an ETF listed on London Stock Exchange (LSE) was listed on Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) for the first time.
Name of the ETF: iShares Automation & Robot ETF (Code: 2522)
Management Company: BlackRock Japan Co., Ltd.
The newly listed ETF primarily invests in iShares Automation & Robotics UCITS ETF, which is listed on LSE. The TSE-listed ETF is designed to track iSTOXX FactSet Automation & Robotics (TTM) JPY Index, whose constituents are companies related to automation and robotics around the globe, including Japan.
JPX and LSEG will continue to collaborate on such aspects as promoting their product lineups to investors and joint marketing activities for product listing promotion, in order to provide more investment opportunities to investors in both countries.
Comment by Mr. Akira Kiyota, JPX Group CEO:
"To date, JPX has been engaged in promotional activities under our agreement for mutual cooperation with LSEG. The listing on TSE of an ETF focused on investing in an ETF currently listed on London Stock Exchange is a welcome development for both Groups and brings us great pleasure. We will continue to work with LSEG in a wide range of areas with the aim of further developing and promoting, Japanese and British capital markets."
