FLCA is designed to track the performance of large- and mid-cap Canadian stocks. Canada is often an area overlooked among broad developed-market equity funds, and there are only a few ETFs providing single-country exposure. Its underlying index, the FTSE Canada RIC Capped Index is an RIC-compliant index, which means it avoids extreme concentration in the largest names. To ensure this, the fund employs a capping methodology quarterly so that no individual constituent has a weight greater than 20% and the aggregate weight of constituents with over 4.5% weight are capped at 48% weight of the portfolio. The index is market-cap-weighted, and reviewed semi-annually.
