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

ClearBridge Investments

ClearBridge Investments is an active equity manager offering a broad range of strategies across global developed and emerging markets, local markets, and income. ClearBridge manages diversified, high-conviction portfolios through collaborative fundamental research to meet the needs of some of the world's largest asset owners and financial intermediary platforms. We invest as long-term, risk-aware business owners and seek to deliver consistency of process and performance for our clients through market cycles. A focus on durability drives everything we do; from the business models of the companies we own, to the holding periods of our portfolios, to the stability and longevity of our investment professionals.

Commentary Highlights

March 31, 2026
  • Markets:  Surging volatility pressured U.S. equities to start 2026, as rapidly evolving macro conditions and the outbreak of a military conflict in the Middle East contributed to sharp shifts in investor sentiment. A broad-based sell off among more liquid, larger cap holdings put pressure on the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which declined 9.5% for the quarter, while small and mid cap growth categories held up relatively better, with the Russell Midcap Growth and Russell 2000 Growth indexes declining 6.3% and 2.8%, respectively.
  • Contributors:  Holdings in Vertiv, L3Harris Technologies and Freeport-McMoRan. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors, overweight to materials.
  • Detractors:  Holdings in AppLovin, now owning Comnfort Systems USA and Quanta Services. Stock selection and an overweight to IT and a lack of exposure to energy.
  • Outlook:  Our outlook remains consistent: while macro uncertainty and volatility are likely to persist and may even increase as geopolitical developments evolve, these environments often create the most attractive opportunities for active, bottom-up investors. We continue to emphasize balance — owning companies with both offensive growth potential and defensive characteristics, including strong balance sheets, durable cash flows and capable management teams. This approach is designed to support performance across a wide range of market environments, rather than relying on a single factor or theme.
