Our read on FLSA

ETF.net Research

CSaudi Arabia in one ticker: roughly 70 Saudi-listed large and mid caps, tracked passively for 0.39% a year, well under the typical single-country emerging-market fund.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to closely track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE Saudi Arabia Capped Index through a passive indexing approach.

Why people hold it

  1. 01At 0.39% a year it undercuts the 0.59% median for single-country emerging-market ETFs, so less of the Saudi market's move leaks out to fees.
  2. 02Simple mandate: one published index, the FTSE Saudi Arabia Capped Index, tracked passively, with caps that keep the largest names from swallowing the basket.
  3. 03Running since 2018 and part of Franklin's low-cost FTSE country lineup, it spreads exposure across about 70 stocks instead of a thin handful of mega caps.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Small fund, light volume. Spreads can be wide, limit orders matter, and funds that stay subscale can be closed or merged by their issuer.
  2. 02The Saudi Exchange trades Sunday to Thursday, so US-hours pricing often rests on stale local quotes and premiums or discounts to net asset value can open up.tradinghours.com
  3. 03One country, roughly 70 stocks. Concentration is the design, so the ride tracks a single economy rather than a diversified emerging-market basket.
