Franklin FTSE Korea UCITS ETF GBP is a equity ETF from Franklin Templeton tracking the FTSE Korea index through physical replication. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2019, the fund manages about 3.5 bn € and charges a TER of 0.09% — 9 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is automatically reinvested in the fund (accumulating).
Franklin FTSE Korea UCITS ETF GBP competes with 175 other products in the same class and region (Equity, Global): it ranks 12th by fund size and 3rd by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.09% against a group median of 0.40%. It has been listed since 2019, 7 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 9 € a year, against 40 € for the median product in the category.
Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 62.2% of the portfolio.
Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in GBP. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
