And that same proven investment strategy is now available as an ETF (TSX: FGGE).

KEY REASONS TO INVEST
Differentiated growth:

Benchmark indifferent:
Has flexibility to invest in the best opportunities around the world, regardless of their weight or inclusion in the benchmark
Concentrated yet diversified:
Seeks to limit economic overlap within the portfolio, investing in 35-40 companies with uncorrelated revenue drivers
DIFFERENTIATED GROWTH2
Investing in the MSCI World Index alone may result in an overweight in FAANG stocks, can limit the benefits of a diversified portfolio and increase market volatility.

Benchmark indifferent
A global team of sector analysts focus on their respective industries and regions to find companies that meet the Franklin Equity Group’s strict growth, quality and valuation criteria. With deep knowledge of each holding, the analysts look beyond a company’s domicile to focus on its economic exposures, revenues and growth trends to determine an appropriate weight in the portfolio.

As of December 31, 2020
Though the Franklin Global Growth Fund is a concentrated portfolio, the investment team diversifies economic exposures in an effort to mitigate risk. How? The fund seeks to limit the overlap of economic exposures among individual holdings. For example, the managers avoid holding companies that are competitors or those that are subject to common revenue or expense drivers.

Important Legal Information
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus or fund facts document before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
Series F is available to investors participating in programs that do not require Franklin Templeton to incur distribution costs in the form of trailing commissions to dealers. As a consequence, the management fee on Series F is lower than on Series A.
Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the fund will be returned to you.
Distributions are not guaranteed and the proportion of income and return of capital will fluctuate depending on fund returns. Unlike fixed-income securities, there is no obligation to distribute any fixed amount, and reductions in, or suspensions of, distributions may occur that would reduce yield. Distributions are not an indication of performance, rate of return, or yield. Mutual fund distributions are not guaranteed and are set and may change at the discretion of Franklin Templeton Investments Corp.
Effective October 1, 2020, the management and administration fee for this fund was reduced by 0.27%.
