Strategy Description

The ClearBridge Emerging Markets Portfolios provide investors with full access to the return potential of emerging market equities through a hybrid structure that uses both a pooled vehicle and American Depository Receipts (ADRs). The pooled vehicle helps ClearBridge provide clients with exposure to equity and related securities of emerging market and developing countries that are difficult to access through ADRs. The hybrid structure retains the customization and tax advantages of a Separately Managed Account (SMA) for directly held securities while broadening the investment universe through the pooled vehicle.

Commentary Highlights

12/31/2025
  • Markets:  Emerging markets advanced 4.7% in the fourth quarter to finish the year as one of the best performing global equity asset classes. The benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 33.6% for 2025, outpacing the developed market MSCI EAFE Index (+31.2%) and handily outperforming the U.S. S&P 500 Index. (+17.9%). Within the benchmark, performance in the fourth quarter was led by Korea and Taiwan, which offset weakness in China. Korean equities soared 27.3% in the quarter, led by a 50% gain for its information technology (IT) sector, while AI-related momentum helped Taiwanese stocks climb 10.4%.
  • Contributors:  SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, Sieyuan Electric, Capitec Bank and not holding Xiaomi.
  • Detractors:  MercadoLibre, Al Rajhi Bank, CATL, Apollo Hospitals, ICICI Bank.
  • Outlook:  We believe the EM market recovery is at an early stage. Valuations are appealing, global macroeconomic drivers are supportive and local structural and company-level opportunities all point toward significant upside potential for the asset class.

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. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. 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. The portfolio is non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the performance and result in greater fluctuation in value. The managers’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies may limit the types and number of investments available and, as a result, may forgo favorable market opportunities or underperform strategies that are not subject to such criteria. There is no guarantee that the strategy's ESG directives will be successful or will result in better performance. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance.
