FLAX offers broad exposure to Asian stocks from both developed and emerging economies. Excluding Japan boosts the fund's exposure to China, Korea and Taiwan. However, the fund only covers large- and mid-cap stocks—omitting small-caps, a common concession in the space. The underlying index uses market-cap weighting, along with a capping methodology. The index is reviewed semi-annually.
