Managed Fund Since 2026
Fixed Income Active
TEMD Templeton Emerging Markets Debt ETF
- Integrates high-conviction research with an index-aware framework: The strategy draws on Templeton Global Macro's long-standing emerging markets expertise, integrating deep country-level research with top-down macro analysis to inform active country weightings relative to a traditional emerging markets sovereign debt index.
- Hard-currency core with select local-currency yield opportunities: Maintains a minimum 50% allocation to U.S. dollar- and euro-denominated emerging markets sovereign debt, complemented by selective local-currency exposure to seek higher yield and total return potential while actively managing currency risk.
- A differentiated source of diversification: The strategy's blended hard- and local-currency approach, paired with active responsiveness to evolving macroeconomic and country-specific fundamentals, may offer differentiated return drivers within fixed income allocations and contribute to broader portfolio diversification.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. 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. 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. Low-rated, high-yield bonds are subject to greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. 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. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. 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. The portfolio is, or could become, 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. The fund is newly organized, with a limited history of operations. 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.
The JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index includes U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign bond index. It has a distinct diversification scheme that allows a more even weight distribution among the countries in the index.
