Our read on each fund

EISCiShares MSCI Israel ETF

FLGBAFranklin FTSE United Kingdom 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.

FLGB Britain in one ticker for nine basis points. Franklin's UK tracker follows a capped FTSE index of roughly 110 British companies and charges a small fraction of what the typical index fund in its peer group costs.

Stated mandate

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

FLGB The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE UK RIC Capped Index.

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
  • FLGB 0.09% a year, a fraction of the median fee across the index trackers we grade. Cheap is the whole pitch for single-country beta, and this one delivers it.
  • One trade, roughly 110 UK companies. A passive, rules-based mandate tied to the FTSE UK RIC Capped Index, running since its 2017 launch.
  • Stands in the top quartile of its plain-index-wrapper peer group, and the mandate data behind that read is high confidence.

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.
  • FLGB Single-country by design: UK listings only, so there is no cushion from other markets inside the fund. Broad global trackers like VT spread that bet differently.
  • Moderately traded rather than a volume monster, so limit orders are the sane way in and out.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly. Income lands in lumps.

How we measure overlap

Each holding counts at its smaller weight in the two funds, summed over the full Holdings. Sector, country and asset class use the same rule on each fund’s split. Cash, FX and derivative lines stay out of the counts. Two bond funds get no overlap figure.
