Our read on FLGR
BGermany's stock market for nine basis points. Franklin built FLGR as a low-cost wrapper on roughly 80 German large and mid caps, priced well under what most single-country funds charge.
The Fund seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Germany Capped Index. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in the index's component securities or related depositary receipts.
Why people hold it
- A 0.09% expense ratio, a fraction of the typical single-country fee. Cost is the one input you control, and this one is set low by design.
- Plain index plumbing: at least 80% of assets in FTSE Germany Capped Index components, tracked closely rather than second-guessed.
- Part of Franklin's 0.09% single-country lineup alongside FLKR and FLAU, and it sits in the upper half of its peer group.
- Trading since 2017, so there is a real record to look at rather than a launch-week backtest.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded and on the smaller side. Limit orders and a look at the spread matter more here than with a headline-name fund.
- One country, about 80 stocks. Germany's economy is the whole ballgame, with no other market to cushion a rough stretch.
- Cash comes back once or twice a year, not quarterly, so the payout rhythm is lumpier than many income-focused funds.
