FYI: Franklin Templeton recently filed for a trio of emerging markets ETFs tracking plain-vanilla cap-weighted indexes. The three funds will join six other funds launched late last year covering individual countries at a cost of 0.19%, cheaper than any of the comparable iShares ETFs.
The three proposed funds are as follows:
Franklin Latin America ETF
Franklin South Africa ETF
Franklin Saudi Arabia ETF
