Our read on ASEA

ETF.net Research

CSoutheast Asia in one ticket. ASEA tracks the FTSE/ASEAN 40, a basket of roughly 40 of the region's largest listed companies, and has run that same mandate since 2011. A narrow regional slice, not a broad emerging-markets fund.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track generally the price and yield performance of the FTSE/ASEAN 40 Index, before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One trade buys roughly 40 large ASEAN-listed companies, weighted by a published FTSE index rather than a manager's calls.globalxetfs.com
  2. 02Running since 2011 on the same index and the same regional mandate. What the name says is what the fund has always done.globalxetfs.com
  3. 03Plain-vanilla plumbing: a registered 1940 Act fund tracking a named, rules-based benchmark (ASEA40WN), so the roster turns over when the index does.assets.globalxetfs.com

Worth knowing

  1. 010.65% a year is specialist pricing, above what broad, plain-index ETFs typically charge. That gap is the toll for the regional focus.
  2. 02Thinly traded next to mainstream index funds, so the bid-ask spread is part of your real cost, not just the expense ratio.
  3. 03About 40 stocks in one region: single-name concentration, local market swings and foreign-currency moves all land directly in the return.
