Commentary Highlights

December 31, 2025
  • Markets:  US equities collectively delivered solid gains in the fourth quarter of 2025, maintaining their upward trajectory against a backdrop of generally robust corporate earnings. Despite mixed economic signals and investor concerns about stretched valuations in technology-related stocks, investor sentiment was supported by continued monetary easing from the US Federal Reserve and improved US–China relations.
  • Contributors:  The value factor benefited the fund during the period, as mid-capitalization cyclical stocks broadly outperformed their defensive counterparts.
  • Detractors:  Positioning in the quality, low volatility and momentum factors weighed on performance.

Calendar Year Returns

Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Returns are based on Market Price or NAV, assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Performance would have been lower if expenses had not been waived in various periods. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. In seeking to track its underlying index, the fund may become non‑diversified as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the underlying index. There can be no assurance that the fund's multi-factor stock selection process will enhance performance. Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods. Performance of the fund may vary significantly from the performance of an index, as a result of transaction costs, expenses and other factors. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. 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.

Footnotes

  1. Net Asset Value (NAV) returns are based on the NAV of the ETF/ETP. The fund’s NAV represents the per-share-value and is determined by dividing the total NAV of the fund by the number of shares outstanding; Market Price returns are based upon the official closing price of the ETF’s/ETP's shares. The fund calculates the NAV per share each business day and normally coincides with the close of trading on the exchange on which they are listed, typically 4 pm ET. The fund does not calculate the NAV on days the exchange is closed for trading. These returns do not represent investors’ returns had they traded shares at other times. 

  2. Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

  3. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

  4. With Waiver means the performance quote reflects any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers.

  5. During periods of rising inflation, fund yields can vary significantly from month-to-month and may not be repeated.

  6. 30-Day SEC Yield is calculated using the net income (interest and dividends) per share earned over a trailing 30-day period (annualized), divided by the fund’s share price at the end of that period. It may not equal the fund’s actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders.

  7. Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution amount paid, divided by the closing market price or NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income and excludes special distributions. The Distribution Rate is subject to change and is not guaranteed nor a quotation of fund performance.

  8. Gross Expense Ratio reflects the total annual operating expenses for the share class shown, prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net Expense Ratio reflects total expenses after any fee waivers, implemented expense caps or reimbursements. If a fund has contractual fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements, the expiration date can be found by clicking on the information button next to the net expense ratio. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus or annual report.

  9. Net Expense Ratio represents the expense ratio applicable to investors. 

  10. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

  11. Premiums or discounts are the differences between the NAV and the Market Price of the Fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. The since inception premium/discount average is calculated by averaging the daily premium/discount since the inception of the fund. The daily premium/discount is the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value. The Market Price is determined using the closing price as of 4 pm ET on each trading day (when NAV is normally determined for most funds).

  12. Premium / Discount reflects the difference between the NAV and the Market Price of the fund, and represents the amount that the fund is trading above or below its NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. 

  13. Returns are average annualized total returns, except for those periods of less than one year, which are cumulative. Market Price returns are calculated using the closing price as of 4 pm ET on each trading day (when NAV is normally determined for most funds), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund's inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (4/28/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Performance for the ETF/ETP and its benchmark index are as of the ETF's/ETP's last trading day before the end of the period.

  14. Capitalization Rate is calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses.
