Franklin FTSE Taiwan UCITS ETF

Franklin FTSE Taiwan UCITS ETF is an equity exchange-traded fund designed to replicate the performance of the FTSE Taiwan 30/18 Capped Index. Its primary purpose is to provide investors with efficient, low-cost access to the Taiwanese equity market by passively tracking a diversified basket of large- and mid-cap companies listed in Taiwan. The fund employs physical replication, holding actual shares of its constituent companies, and is accumulating—meaning dividends from the holdings are automatically reinvested rather than paid out to shareholders. With over 120 holdings, the ETF is heavily weighted toward the information technology sector, which comprises more than two-thirds of the portfolio, reflecting Taiwan's position as a key global technology and semiconductor hub. Notable holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and other major players in electronics and financial services. The fund is structured to minimize costs with a total expense ratio of just 0.19% per annum and is denominated in U.S. dollars without currency hedging. By offering targeted exposure to Taiwan’s dynamic corporate sector, the Franklin FTSE Taiwan UCITS ETF plays a significant role for investors seeking to participate in the growth of Asia’s advanced economies within a regulated and transparent UCITS framework.
