Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FLCAAFranklin FTSE Canada ETF

FLTWBFranklin FTSE Taiwan ETF

In short

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.

FLTW Taiwan 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

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

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

Why people hold it

  • 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.
  • FLTW 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

  • 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.
  • FLTW 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.
