Commentary Highlights
December 31, 2025- Markets: Mid cap equities were flat to slightly positive in the fourth quarter, with the Russell Midcap Index returning 0.16%. Market performance was shaped less by macroeconomic shocks and more by an increasingly narrow set of investor preferences, particularly late in the quarter, as momentum faded in several growth-oriented areas that had driven returns earlier in the year. Earnings reactions became more uneven, with stocks often moving sharply irrespective of underlying execution, reinforcing a market dynamic where sentiment and positioning frequently outweighed fundamentals. While certain cyclical and industrial recovery narratives stalled, dispersion beneath the surface of index-level results remained elevated, underscoring both the challenges and opportunities for active, company-specific investing.
- Contributors: Holdings in Expedia, Churchill Downs and Api Group. Stock selection in the the consumer discretionary sector, underweights to the communication services and real estate sectors.
- Detractors: Holdings in Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Chewy and Resideo Technologies. Stock selection in the information technology (IT), real estate and financials sectors.
- Outlook: As we look toward 2026, we believe the environment for mid cap equities is becoming incrementally more constructive, though uncertainty remains. The past several years have been characterized by an unusually narrow market, where a small subset of highly visible growth themes attracted the majority of investor attention, while many fundamentally sound businesses across the broader economy were overlooked. In our view, this dynamic contributed to a prolonged period of deferred investment and cautious decision making outside of a limited number of favored areas.

Composite Performance
Risk/Return Profile (%)
Based on a 10 year period ending Dec-31-2025
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.
