Managed Strategy Since 2017
Putnam International Durable Equity (ADR-Only) SMA
- Attractive compounding opportunities - We believe companies with competitive moats, structural growth, and good corporate governance typically exhibit margin stability and higher returns on capital employed, and can convert more of their net income into free cash flows.
- Focused on efficient alpha capture - Investment ideas result from a combination of quantitative screens and deep fundamental research. Portfolio construction includes top down considerations and intentional, meaningful differences from the benchmark.
- A long-term investment horizon - Our process is committed to a multiyear investment horizon that seeks to harness the power of compounding growth.

Composite Performance
Risk/Return Profile (%)
Based on a 7 year period ending Sep-30-2025
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.
Information is based on the composite. Past performance is not an indicator or a guarantee of future performance. Returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. All performance is reported in US dollars.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. 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 investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. 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.
