Our read on FLJP

ETF.net Research

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.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE Japan RIC Capped Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 010.09% a year, against a Japan-cohort median near 0.50%. Same country, same broad exposure, a fraction of the toll.
  2. 02Roughly 500 names via the FTSE Japan RIC Capped Index, whose capping rules trim outsized positions so no single stock runs away with the portfolio.
  3. 03Running 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.
  4. 04Cheaper than the bigger brand-name Japan trackers it competes with, including EWJ at 0.49% and BBJP at 0.19%.

Worth knowing

  1. 01The yen rides along. Currency moves hit returns here; Franklin's hedged twin, FLJH, strips that out for the same 0.09%.
  2. 02One country, one market cycle. Everything inside depends on Japan, so this is a slice of a portfolio rather than a diversified core.
  3. 03Distributions land annually or semiannually, not monthly, so cash flow arrives in lumps.
