Our read on FLSW

ETF.net Research

In short

BSwitzerland for nine basis points. Franklin's take on the Swiss market tracks a capped FTSE index of roughly 50 large Swiss companies at a fee far below what the old-guard country funds charge.

Stated mandate

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

Why people hold it

  • 0.09% a year for a whole country. The typical developed single-country ETF charges many times that, including highly rated peers like EWU and EWC at 0.50%.
  • The mandate is one line long: track the FTSE Switzerland RIC Capped Index before fees. No stock picking, no overlay, and the capped design limits how large any single name gets.
  • Part of Franklin's flat-priced country lineup, so stacking it with siblings like FLAU or FLKR keeps the fee math identical across sleeves.
  • Sits in the upper half of the developed single-country group, with cost doing most of the heavy lifting.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded. The spread on a hurried market order can cost more than the fee you saved, which is why limit orders exist.
  • About 50 stocks in one small market. A handful of Swiss giants drive much of the result, and the index cap trims that concentration rather than removing it.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly, so the income shows up in lumps.
