Manager and Commentary

About the Team

Franklin Equity Group

Growth equity managers with a focus on in-depth fundamental research, we offer expertise in managing global, U.S. and sector-specific strategies across the market capitalization spectrum. Our center of gravity in Silicon Valley allows us to follow companies across their private to public life cycles, developing deeper insights into future industry trends and identifying potential disruptors.

Commentary Highlights

September 30, 2025
  • Markets: Global equities delivered solid gains in 2025’s third quarter (3Q25), buoyed in part by easing trade tensions and optimism surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). Central bank actions—notably the US Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cut and its signaling of potential further monetary easing—supported market sentiment, as did generally robust corporate earnings. Global information technology (IT) stocks were volatile but ultimately topped all 10 other major equity sectors, supported by robust earnings and forward guidance from many IT and tech-adjacent firms—especially those tied to AI, cloud, data infrastructure, semiconductors and software.
  • Detractors: Unfavorable security selection versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index in the consumer discretionary, health care, IT, communication services and financials sectors.
  • Contributors: Relative strength in several industry allocations (including pharmaceuticals, electronic equipment/instruments/components, IT services and semiconductors) and the strategy’s lack of investments in underperforming consumer staples, real estate, utilities and materials sector companies.
  • Outlook: While we believe the excitement around the progress in both agentic AI and Generative AI (GenAI) as well as data-driven experimentation is merited as a widening array of industries test AI’s novel business applications, other parts of the economy are also exciting—including aerospace and defense, robotics, genomics and green energy.

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.

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.
