State Street Investment Management today announced the listing of five Japan-domiciled exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).

This marks the firm’s first locally domiciled ETF offering in Japan, underscoring the firm’s commitment to the market and its strategy to expand into the retail and intermediary space.

“As a pioneer and innovator in ETF investing, we’re excited to bring Japan-domiciled ETFs to market for the first time,” said Dohei Echizenya, head of Japan at State Street Investment Management. “This milestone demonstrates our commitment to delivering world-class investment solutions tailored to the evolving needs of Japanese investors. With over 25 years of experience in Japan, we believe now is the right time to expand our local offerings, particularly as local investors increasingly seek more diversified, transparent and cost-effective investment solutions.”

Listed on TSE today, the ETFs offer access to diversified investment strategies and complement State Street Investment Management’s existing suite of three cross-listed US-domiciled ETFs, 32 investment trust management (ITM) funds, and over 60 offshore ETFs registered in Japan.

“The launch of our new gold ETFs marked the next chapter in our legacy of innovation in gold investing, which began in 2004 with the introduction of SPDR® Gold Shares (GLD®) with the World Gold Council,” said Anna Paglia, chief business officer at State Street Investment Management. “We are thrilled to deepen our partnership and introduce new gold solutions for Japanese investors. Collaborating with industry leaders enables us to deliver innovative products and strong outcomes for our clients.”
