The Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (FLKR) is a non-diversified fund designed to track the performance of large- and mid-capitalization equities in South Korea. Under normal conditions, the fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities within the FTSE South Korea Capped Index or related depositary receipts. This capping methodology prevents any single constituent from dominating the portfolio, ensuring broader exposure across the South Korean industrial landscape.
The South Korean market is characterized by a heavy concentration in the technology and manufacturing sectors, driven largely by family-controlled conglomerates known as chaebols. These entities often operate integrated business models spanning electronics, shipbuilding, and automotive production, making the regional economy highly sensitive to global export demand.
