Our read on FLCA
ACanada in one ticker, at index-fund pricing. FLCA tracks the FTSE Canada Capped Index, about 50 large- and mid-cap Canadian names, for 0.09% a year.
The fund seeks to track the FTSE Canada Capped Index, which measures the performance of Canadian large- and mid-capitalization stocks.
Why people hold it
- 0.09% a year against a 0.45% median for index-tracking ETFs. On plain-vanilla country exposure, the fee gap is most of the story.
- The mandate is refreshingly plain: the FTSE Canada Capped Index, Canadian large and mid caps, no factor tilts, no derivatives overlay.
- Live since 2017 and one of the stronger implementations in a crowded field of index trackers.
Worth knowing
- About 50 stocks in one country. That is a targeted slice of the world, not a diversified core.
- Mid-sized and moderately traded, so limit orders are the sane way in and out.
- Distributions arrive once or twice a year rather than quarterly, which matters if you spend the income.
