The Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust is a grantor trust that offers investors a simple, exchange-listed way to gain exposure to Japanese Yen through shares backed by actual Yen deposits held at a major bank, with no need for direct currency holdings. The Trust operates as a passive vehicle with no employees or decision-making officers, issuing and redeeming shares in large blocks called baskets in exchange for Yen deposits, while institutional and retail investors buy and sell shares on a stock exchange like any other listed security. The Trust generates revenue through a daily sponsor fee based on assets under management, which covers all administrative and operational costs including trustee, depository, exchange listing, and audit fees, while excess interest earned on the Yen deposits is returned to shareholders monthly.
