■An unprecedented guidebook that combines “travel” and “investment” has arrived! The currently popular investment trust “eMAXIS Slim All Country Global Stocks,” nicknamed “Orcan,” is familiar to many people.

intellectual journey around the world provides an opportunity to reflect on the significance of asset formation. ■What was the inspiration behind the creation of “Travelling Around the World: Orkan”? The impetus for this project was a single email to the Chikyu no Arukikata editorial office from Hideo Shirota (currently a special advisor to Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management), known as the “creator of Orkan.” “Isn’t it possible to do something interesting with Orkan, which invests in stocks around the world, and Chikyu no Arukikata, a guidebook for traveling the world?” With this question as the starting point, consideration began, and after approximately 10 months of production, the book was released. The production involved 20-30 editorial staff members, 50-60 people including supervisors and interview assisted, and more than 100 employees of Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management who participated in the survey, making it a large-scale project involving a total of nearly 200 people. ■From the familiar theme of “travel” to the world of “investment” ▼A thorough explanation of 47 countries and regions This site lists the 47 countries and regions in which Orkan invests (as of June 2025).
