Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FLCAAFranklin FTSE Canada ETF

ISRACVanEck Israel 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.

ISRA One ticker for Israel. ISRA tracks the BlueStar Israel Global Index, a benchmark built around companies generally considered Israeli rather than an Israel sleeve carved out of a world index, and it has been running since 2013.

Stated mandate

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

ISRA The fund seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the BlueStar Israel Global Index, which represents equity securities of companies generally considered Israeli.

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.
  • ISRA Purpose-built reference: the BlueStar Israel Global Index targets equities of companies generally considered Israeli, not just whatever a broad global benchmark happens to classify as Israel.vaneck.com
  • Launched in 2013, so this is a long-running Israel fund with a real track record behind it, not a fresh thematic launch.
  • Roughly 80 holdings spread the exposure across Israel's market rather than resting on a few megacap names.
  • Plain plumbing: a standard 1940 Act ETF holding index equities, with no leverage or derivatives overlay to unpack.vaneck.com

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.
  • ISRA The 0.59% expense ratio sits above the typical single-country developed fund, and low-cost peers like FLKR and FLAU charge 0.09%.
  • It trades thinly next to the heavyweights of its group, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads and more friction getting in and out.
  • Single-country design means Israeli politics, the shekel and regional events move the whole portfolio together. Distributions come once or twice a year, not monthly.
