Our read on FLJP
AJapan's whole market for nine basis points. FLJP tracks the FTSE Japan RIC Capped Index across roughly 500 stocks at 0.09%, a fraction of what the typical Japan fund charges.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE Japan RIC Capped Index.
Why people hold it
- 0.09% a year, against a Japan-cohort median near 0.50%. Same country, same broad exposure, a fraction of the toll.
- Roughly 500 names via the FTSE Japan RIC Capped Index, whose capping rules trim outsized positions so no single stock runs away with the portfolio.
- Running since 2017 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund, it tracks its index tightly and ranks among the strongest builds in its Japan peer group.
- Cheaper than the bigger brand-name Japan trackers it competes with, including EWJ at 0.49% and BBJP at 0.19%.
Worth knowing
- The yen rides along. Currency moves hit returns here; Franklin's hedged twin, FLJH, strips that out for the same 0.09%.
- One country, one market cycle. Everything inside depends on Japan, so this is a slice of a portfolio rather than a diversified core.
- Distributions land annually or semiannually, not monthly, so cash flow arrives in lumps.
