FLMX: In The Gulf Of Mexican Stocks, This ETF Doesn't Cut It
FLMX, despite an attractive chart and lower expense ratio, underperforms compared to EWW, which has a stronger history and larger backing from iShares. EWW's similar characteristics, better performance, and higher dividend yield make it a more appealing investment than FLMX in the Mexican stock market. FLMX's smaller size, lower trading volume, and lack of first-mover advantage are significant drawbacks despite its solid portfolio and sector tilts.

Overview
The presented company is a fund that primarily centers its investments on the securities that form the FTSE Mexico Capped Index, including depositary receipts that represent these securities. This strategy indicates that under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the fund's assets are allocated towards large- and mid-capitalization Mexican stocks, embodied by the FTSE Mexico Capped Index. This particular index is an offshoot of the broader FTSE Mexico Index, tailored to capture the performance of significant Mexican companies within the stipulated capitalization range. Notably, the fund adopts a non-diversified investment approach, concentrating its resources more narrowly than diversified funds.
Products and Services
- FTSE Mexico Capped Index Securities
- Depositary Receipts
This constitutes the fund's core investment focus, channeling at least 80% of its assets into equities that are part of the FTSE Mexico Capped Index. These securities represent the larger and medium-sized companies in Mexico, providing investors direct exposure to the Mexican stock market. Investing in these securities is aimed at mirroring the performance of the index, thereby participating in the potential growth and returns of Mexico's significant corporations.
In addition to direct index securities, the fund invests in depositary receipts that represent the stocks included in the FTSE Mexico Capped Index. Depositary receipts enable the fund to hold shares in foreign companies while trading in local markets, thus facilitating easier access to Mexican equities for investors who might otherwise find it challenging to invest directly in Mexico's stock market. This approach broadens the fund's investment scope and diversification, even within its non-diversified framework.
