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.

About the Team

Franklin Equity

Franklin Equity understands innovation from every angle—our decades of experience investing in complex change fuels a differentiated perspective on how public and private companies accelerate growth and unlock value. Leveraging fundamental depth and quantitative precision, we identify catalysts for transformation that reshape companies and industries. Our expertise, spanning from growth to value, brings together diverse perspectives that help us spot opportunities ahead of the market.

Commentary Highlights

June 30, 2026
  • Markets:  International equities delivered robust gains during the second quarter of 2026, though they lagged US stocks, as measured by MSCI indexes in US-dollar terms. Nevertheless, improving corporate earnings and a decisive rotation into technology-driven growth themes provided a positive backdrop for risk assets.
  • Contributors:  Select holdings in the materials and communication services sectors bolstered returns relative to the MSCI EAFE Index-NR.
  • Detractors:  Stock selection in the information technology and health care sectors held back relative returns.
  • Outlook:  In this environment, our priorities are to position holdings for long-term success, exit positions that move away from our thesis, capture opportunities in differentiated businesses and maintain diversification.

Risks

All investments involve risks, including 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. 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. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. Active management does not ensure gains or protect against market declines. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks.

Important Information
