Our read on FLBR

ETF.net Research

In short

ABrazil at roughly a third the fee of the typical fund in the category. Franklin tracks a capped FTSE index of about 100 Brazilian stocks, and has hugged that benchmark closely since launching in 2017.

Stated mandate

The fund uses a passive indexing approach intended to track the performance of the FTSE Brazil Capped Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • 0.19% a year against a 0.60% median for Brazil funds. In a market this jumpy, the fee is the one input you actually control.
  • Same large-cap Brazil market as EWZ at 0.59%, for well under half the cost, and one of the strongest all-round builds in the Brazil group.
  • Plain index plumbing: it aims to match the FTSE Brazil Capped Index before fees, and its tracking has stayed very close to that benchmark.
  • Backed by Franklin Templeton and trading since 2017, so this is a seasoned wrapper rather than a fresh single-country launch.

Worth knowing

  • One country, about 100 mostly large companies, in a currency tied to commodities and politics. Concentration is the whole point, and it cuts both ways.
  • It changes hands less often than the category's giant, EWZ, so spreads can run wider. Limit orders earn their keep.
  • Cash comes quarterly, and the amount rides on what Brazilian companies choose to pay out, which varies year to year.
