FLBRs FTSE index excludes small-cap stocks, unlike other MSCI-based competitors (and our benchmark) that nominally offers broader exposure to Brazilian stocks. In tracking the index, the fund may either use a sampling method or a replication method, which both aim to hold the same securities as the index to achieve the same investment objective. The fund holds securities that meet minimum size and trading requirements, weighted by market cap. Larger holdings are capped at 25% of the funds total value to meet RIC requirements, and the index is rebalanced semi-annually.
