Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

FLMXBFranklin FTSE Mexico ETF

IDXCVanEck Indonesia Index ETF

In short

FLMX Mexico exposure at a discount. Franklin's tracker charges 0.19%, a fraction of what single-country emerging-market funds usually cost, and holds a compact basket of the country's largest listed companies.

IDX Indonesia in one ticket, running since 2009. Its index counts revenue, not just paperwork: a company incorporated outside Indonesia still qualifies if at least half its business sits there.

Stated mandate

FLMX The Fund seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Mexico Capped Index before fees and expenses through an indexing strategy, investing at least 80% of assets in index components or related exposure.

IDX The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Indonesia Index.

Why people hold it

  • FLMX At 0.19%, one of the cheapest wrappers for Mexican equities: well under the roughly 0.59% median in its single-country EM cohort, and under EWW's 0.50%.
  • Plain, rules-based mandate: it tracks the FTSE Mexico Capped Index, keeping at least 80% of assets in index components or related exposure. No manager guesswork.
  • The index is a capped one, which limits how much of the portfolio any single Mexican mega-cap can occupy.
  • Live since 2017 and, on our review, one of the stronger implementations among single-country emerging-market funds.
  • IDX The index reaches past legal domicile. Firms incorporated elsewhere count if at least 50% of revenues or related assets are Indonesian, so offshore-registered pure plays aren't missed.vaneck.com
  • Costs 0.57% a year, a shade under the typical single-country emerging-market ETF.
  • Roughly 70 stocks spread across sectors. The portfolio build is one of the stronger ones among single-country emerging-market funds.
  • Live since January 2009, a long run for a fund tied to a single frontier-adjacent market.

Worth knowing

  • FLMX Thinly traded. Spreads can run wider than at the category's busiest funds, which adds to the real cost of getting in and out beyond the headline fee.
  • One country, roughly 40 stocks. Concentration is the point, but it means Mexican policy, oil and peso moves all land straight in a dollar-based return.
  • Income arrives quarterly, not monthly.
  • IDX One country, one currency. Results ride Indonesian equities and the rupiah together, and a strong dollar can offset local gains.
  • A small, only moderately traded fund, so bid-ask spreads tend to run wider than on broad emerging-market ETFs.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly.
