Commentary Highlights
June 30, 2026- Markets: Geopolitical events continued to dominate the second quarter of 2026. However, towards the end of the period, the easing of Middle East tensions and a decline in oil prices helped improve investor sentiment. Global aggregate bond indexes registered small positive total returns in US-dollar terms over the quarter. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) kept rates unchanged during the period, although rising inflationary pressures have raised the possibility of a rate hike by the central bank before year-end. As widely expected, the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates by 25 basis points in June, as rising energy-driven inflation outweighed concerns about slowing economic growth. Across credit markets, investment‑grade, high‑yield and hard‑currency emerging‑market debt outperformed broader fixed income benchmarks.
- Contributors: Duration and yield-curve positioning.
- Detractors: Local market allocation, sector allocation.
- Outlook: In the United States, we expect the Fed to remain on hold for the time being. However, we believe the ECB is likely to increase rates in September.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond’s issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond’s value. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. The portfolio is non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the performance and result in greater fluctuation in value. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. ETF shares may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price (MP), not their Net Asset Value (NAV), on the exchange on which they are listed. Shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets and may trade either at a premium or a discount to their NAV on the secondary market. Prior to trading in the secondary market, shares of the fund are "created" at NAV by market makers, large investors and institutions only in block-size Creation Units. Each "creator" or "Authorized Participant" enters into an authorized participant agreement with Franklin Distributors, LLC. Only an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Creation Units directly with the fund. Retail investors buy and sell shares of ETFs at market price (not NAV) in the secondary market throughout the trading day. These shares are not individually available for purchase or redemption directly from the ETF.
Franklin Distributors, LLC serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the ETFs on an agency basis. Franklin Distributors, LLC does not maintain a secondary market in the funds' shares.
Redemption payments will be effected within the specified number of calendar days following the date on which a request for redemption in proper form is made. For more information, please see the ETF’s statement of additional information (SAI) which can be found on the fund’s webpage.
