Our read on FLTW

ETF.net Research

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

  1. 010.19% a year, against a 0.45% median for index-tracking peers. Single-country exposure usually costs more than this.
  2. 02A billion-dollar-plus fund that trades actively, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.
  3. 03Rules-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.
  4. 04Live since 2017 and one of the stronger builds among the index trackers we grade.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Roughly 60 stocks in one country. Taiwan-specific news moves the whole fund, with no other market to cushion it.
  2. 02Holdings trade in New Taiwan dollars, so the currency swing rides along with the stocks in your US-dollar return.
  3. 03Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly.
