Sun, This is pretty easy. Large cap vs. small cap. The JEQ has a lot of names you'll recognize, like Sony, Toyota, etc. You probably won't recognize any of the names in JOF, unless you happen to live there. The JEQ are Nikkei stocks while we don't really see any indices that reflect the JOF stocks. Like in the US, over the counter stocks tend to be faster growing/higher risk. Generally, they sell at premium price earnings ratios. But, right now, they are low priced relative to the big uglies. I like both funds, but JEQ requires some macro and currency improvement. JOF requires mgts. to recognize an opportunity and then execute. I have more faith in the latter with the JOF cos. that have survived so far.
