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.

About the Team

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:  Global equities delivered robust gains during the second quarter of 2026, buoyed by improving corporate earnings and a rotation into technology-driven growth themes. The temporary de-escalation of Middle East geopolitical tensions and decline in energy prices provided a constructive backdrop for risk assets, while the AI-driven capital expenditure cycle remained a dominant force, underpinning earnings revisions across sectors. Growth stocks outpaced value, while small caps gained traction amid renewed investor appetite for innovation-led opportunities.
  • Contributors:  Outperformance versus the benchmark index across nine out of 11 equity sectors, with effective security selection accounting for the entirety of the strategy’s excess return.
  • Detractors:  Lagging gains in the IT services industry (due to stock selection); weak returns in aerospace and defense (due to stock selection and overweighting); and overweighting and stock selection in e-commerce companies.
  • Outlook:  For the rest of 2026, we expect AI-related business attention to shift further toward application-layer software, as maturing agentic systems begin to drive durable productivity gains across the broader economy.

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. 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. 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. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. 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.
