FLKR offers representative exposure to South Korean large- and mid-cap equities. All companies are weighted by their free-float-adjusted market cap and reviewed semi-annually, with limits on the very largest firms for RIC compliance. The issuer limits are applied quarterly and are as follows: All companies that have a weight greater than 4.5% in aggregate are no more than 48% of the index, and no individual company in the index has a weight greater than 20% of the index. Like most competitors, the fund excludes small-caps. For investors that look for a simple, no-frills South Korean fund, FLKR offers neutral coverage of the South Korean equities market.
