Franklin International Aggregate Bond ETF

Frequently Asked Questions About FLIA

What does FLIA invest in?

This fund aims to achieve the highest possible overall return, derived from both regular interest payments and potential appreciation in asset value. It primarily allocates capital to high-quality, fixed or variable-rate debt securities issued by international governments, governmental entities, or private corporations located outside the United States. A core part of the strategy involves substantially reducing foreign exchange volatility through the use of currency-related financial instruments.

What is the expense ratio of FLIA?

Franklin International Aggregate Bond ETF (FLIA) charges an expense ratio of 0.25%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

What is FLIA's dividend yield?

FLIA's trailing-twelve-month yield is 2.81%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price.

What is the duration of FLIA?

Effective duration measures FLIA's sensitivity to interest-rate changes — a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. FLIA's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.

What is the credit quality of FLIA?

FLIA's credit quality breakdown — the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below — is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds.

What is the yield to maturity of FLIA?

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from FLIA if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. FLIA's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website — it differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
