FLTW offers representative exposure to Taiwanese large- and midcap 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 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-cap companies. For investors that look for a simple, no-frills Taiwanese fund, FLSW offers neutral coverage of the Swiss equities market.
