Franklin FTSE Japan Hedged ETF

The Franklin FTSE Japan Hedged ETF (FLJH) provides access to the Japanese stock market and seeks to reduce the impact of the Yen, relative to the US dollar, at a low cost.  It tracks an index of large and mid-size companies in Japan. It is distinct from other Japanese equity ETFs in that it hedges out the currency exposure that an investment in international stocks brings. This delivers isolated exposure to the performance of the underlying equities in local prices. Currency fluctuations can be a significant driver of gains and losses, and some investors may prefer the potential diversification benefit of exposure to non-U.S. dollar investments.  It seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Japan Capped Hedged Index.
