Commentary Highlights
March 31, 2026- Markets: Global equities declined during the first quarter of 2026, as the escalating conflict in the Middle East weighed heavily on investor sentiment. Foreign exchange (FX) volatility was also notable in the period, driven largely by the current geopolitical environment. Oil prices surged in March, exacerbating concerns about inflation and reducing confidence that central banks would be able to ease policy quickly. During the quarter, investors rotated away from some mega-cap technology names toward more cyclical and defensive areas of the market. US stocks broadly underperformed global, developed and emerging markets (EM) gauges, as EM equities declined only modestly. Fixed income returns were generally negative as global government bond markets sold off in March amid rising stagflationary concerns. Global commodities markets rose sharply, largely in March, boosted by supply shocks concentrated in energy and agriculture, with oil futures trading above US$100 per barrel.
- Contributors: The top-down risk premia and the bottom-up long/short equity strategies aided performance led by equity index futures and commodities.
- Detractors: Currency and interest rate positioning weighed on absolute returns, with positioning within the Quality factor detracting modestly.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. 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. The fund is actively managed and could experience losses if the manager's judgment about particular investments, or its evaluation of the risks, potential returns and correlation properties of the various risk premia in which the fund invests, prove to be incorrect. The allocation of assets among different strategies, asset classes and investments may not prove beneficial or produce the desired results. There is no assurance that the quantitative methodology used will achieve its intended results. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Currency management strategies could result in losses to the fund if currencies do not perform as expected. 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. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they have been valued. 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. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. 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.
