Our read on FLTW

ETF.net Research

In short

BTaiwan in one ticker, priced like a core index fund. FLTW passively tracks a capped FTSE index of roughly 60 Taiwanese stocks for 0.19% a year, well under half the typical fee among index-tracking ETFs.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely track the FTSE Taiwan RIC Capped Index.

Why people hold it

  • 0.19% a year, against a 0.45% median for index-tracking peers. Single-country exposure usually costs more than this.
  • A billion-dollar-plus fund that trades actively, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.
  • Rules-based and capped: the FTSE Taiwan RIC Capped Index limits how heavy any single name can get, in a market where one chipmaker looms large.
  • Live since 2017 and one of the stronger builds among the index trackers we grade.

Worth knowing

  • Roughly 60 stocks in one country. Taiwan-specific news moves the whole fund, with no other market to cushion it.
  • Holdings trade in New Taiwan dollars, so the currency swing rides along with the stocks in your US-dollar return.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly.
