Commentary Highlights
December 31, 2025- Markets: Global equity markets collectively posted moderate gains in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a period of consolidation after the stronger advance seen in the third quarter.
- Detractors: Templeton International ADR Equity SMA Composite (pure gross of fees) underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World ex-US-NR Index, primarily due to stock selection in the information technology, materials and industrials sectors.
- Contributors: Stock selection in the utilities and consumer staples sectors and an underweight in communication services contributed to relative performance for the quarter.
- Outlook: We remain broadly constructive on the longer-term outlook for equity markets, but the strength of 2025’s rally suggests that some caution is appropriate in the coming months.

Average Annual Total Returns
As of 02/28/2026
Prior to January 1, 2020, net-of-fee returns were based on actual fee and non-fee paying accounts used a model wrap fee.
The strategy returns shown are preliminary composite returns, subject to future revision (downward or upward). Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. An investment in this strategy can lose value.
Performance data represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Periods less than one year are not annualized. Performance results are for the composite which includes all actual, fully discretionary accounts with substantially similar investment policies and objectives managed to the composite's investment strategy. Composite returns are stated in U.S. dollars and assume reinvestment of any dividends, interest income, capital gains, or other earnings. The composite may include account(s) that are gross of fees and pure gross of fees. “Pure” gross-of-fee returns do not reflect the deduction of any expenses, including transaction costs. A traditional (or "true") gross-of-fee return reflects performance after the reduction of transaction costs but before the reduction of the investment advisory fee. The gross-of-fee return may include a blend of "true" gross-of-fee returns for non-wrap accounts and "pure” gross-of-fee returns for wrap accounts. Net-of-fee returns is reduced by a model “wrap fee” (3.0% is the maximum anticipated wrap fee for equity and balanced portfolios) which includes trading expenses as well as investment management, administrative and custodial fees. The model wrap fee used represents the highest anticipated wrap fee applicable to the strategy. Actual fees and account minimums may vary.
For fee schedules, contact your financial professional, or if you enter into an agreement directly with Franklin Templeton Private Portfolio Group, LLC (“FTPPG”), refer to FTPPG’s Form ADV Part 2A disclosure document. Management and performance of individual accounts may vary for reasons that include the existence of different implementation practices and model requirements in different investment programs.
Net Returns (NR) include income net of tax withholding when dividends are paid.

The portfolio characteristics listed are based on the model portfolio, which is representative of the investment strategy. The model portfolio represents the expected allocation that would be used for new accounts. The allocation of existing accounts may differ from the allocation used for new accounts due to differences in the timing of purchases and sales, changes in the purchase and sell list during the course of a quarter, general market conditions, and factors specific to each existing account due to client considerations. The securities used in developing this model portfolio do not reflect actual purchases in an account and may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on decision making if the portfolio manager was actually managing the account.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Depositary receipts are subject to international investment risk and potentially negative effects from currency exchange rates, foreign taxation and differences in auditing and other financial standards. 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. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. 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. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. 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. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. 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.
