EISCiShares MSCI Israel ETF

FLCAAFranklin FTSE Canada ETF

In short

EIS One ticker for the whole Israeli stock market: roughly 120 names, large down to small, tracked through an MSCI index and packaged by iShares since 2008.

FLCA Canada in one ticker, at index-fund pricing. FLCA tracks the FTSE Canada Capped Index, about 50 large- and mid-cap Canadian names, for 0.09% a year.

Stated mandate

EIS The fund seeks to track an index composed of Israeli equities, providing targeted exposure to companies in Israel.

FLCA The fund seeks to track the FTSE Canada Capped Index, which measures the performance of Canadian large- and mid-capitalization stocks.

Why people hold it

  • EIS "Investable Market" in the index name means mid and small caps ride along, roughly 120 holdings instead of a top-ten roster of giants.ishares.com
  • Live since March 2008, so it comes with a long public record across multiple market cycles rather than a short history and a backtest.
  • The index is capped, which limits how much of the fund any single company can occupy in a market where a few names loom large.ishares.com
  • FLCA 0.09% a year against a 0.45% median for index-tracking ETFs. On plain-vanilla country exposure, the fee gap is most of the story.
  • The mandate is refreshingly plain: the FTSE Canada Capped Index, Canadian large and mid caps, no factor tilts, no derivatives overlay.
  • Live since 2017 and one of the stronger implementations in a crowded field of index trackers.

Worth knowing

  • EIS At 0.59%, it runs above the roughly 0.50% median for single-country developed-market funds, and well above index peers such as FLKR at 0.09%.
  • One country, one currency, one headline cycle. A single-country fund concentrates risks that a regional or global mandate would spread around.
  • Distributions arrive annually or semiannually, not on a quarterly drumbeat, so cash lands in lumps.
  • FLCA About 50 stocks in one country. That is a targeted slice of the world, not a diversified core.
  • Mid-sized and moderately traded, so limit orders are the sane way in and out.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year rather than quarterly, which matters if you spend the income.
