Franklin Templeton is focused on delivering better client outcomes. It’s why Franklin Templeton built a world-class investment firm that aims to offer the best of both worlds: global strength and boutique specialization. They bring together an unmatched collection of independent specialist investment managers to provide the clients deep expertise and specialization — within and across asset classes, investment styles, and geographies. They boast extensive multi-asset capabilities. And they offer hundreds of strategies across active, smart beta and passive approaches — in a full range of vehicles.
All this gives Franklin Templeton the ability to provide options best suited to the unique needs of every client, institutional or individual. Specialization and customization backed by the strength and resources of one of the world’s largest independent asset managers. Reliable, technology-driven, and tailored service. A commitment to doing what’s right for clients at all times.
For many investors, emerging markets still only play an underrepresented role in their portfolio allocations. However, many of these economies are expected to contribute significantly to the world GDP (developing countries set to account for nearly 60% of world GDP by 2030, according to new estimates). While their competitive advantage often used to be based on cheap labour and access to raw materials, many have long shifted towards technological advancements and improved productivity as their source of growth.
When it comes to emerging markets allocations, however, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Disaggregating traditional, broad emerging markets exposures can help investors fine tune their strategic and tactical positioning according to their specific needs. That’s why Franklin Templeton has engineered a range of cost effective, broadly diversified single country ETFs that provide exposure to some of the most dynamic investment opportunities out there.

Smart Beta ETFs
Smart Beta ETFs are one of the fastest growing investment options available to investors. Smart beta is an index that has been designed to achieve a specific outcome, is an evolved way of creating an index, using rules to target companies that demonstrate specific “factors”, or drivers of performance, in order to achieve a specific objective. It targets a variety of factors, combining them in a strategic way, which may lead to stronger returns with less risk over time.
While many smart beta strategies utilize the same four factors (Quality, Value, Momentum and Low Volatility), many employ standard, widely accepted approaches to measuring these factor exposures. Franklin Templeton soughts to develop custom factor measures which they believe could provide a more comprehensive evaluation of a stock's exposure to each factor.
