The Franklin FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF tracks the performance of the FTSE Emerging Markets Index and provides investors access to companies based in emerging markets. The index currently includes more than 2,200 companies from various industries in 23 countries. China (31 per cent), India (23 per cent) and Taiwan (19 per cent) are among the most strongly represented countries.

The Franklin FTSE Emerging ex China UCITS ETF allows investors to invest in large and medium-sized companies from emerging markets excluding China. The fund tracks the performance of the FTSE Emerging ex China Index. The index is composed of around 1,000 companies, with India and Taiwan being the largest constituents with 33 per cent and 27 per cent respectively.

Both share classes are accumulating, meaning that the income is reinvested.
