FTSD Franklin Short Duration U.S. Government ETF

Important Information

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.

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.

7. 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.

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.

11. 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 (11/6/13), the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Index returns are adjusted for withholding taxes. 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.
