The Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (FLKR) provides an affordable way for investors to access South Korea's growing economy, led by major memory chip makers Samsung and SK Hynix. These companies benefit from a global AI-driven memory shortage expected to continue for years. However, geopolitical risks, especially potential disruptions in energy imports due to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, pose significant downside risks. FLKR is recommended as a buy for long-term investors who can tolerate these energy-related geopolitical risks, with strong potential upside if conditions stabilize.
