1. Diversification: By definition, global ETFs invest in securities around the world. This can help diversify your portfolio and protect against losses in a specific country or region.
What are Global ETFs?
If you're looking for a way to invest in global markets, you may be considering exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are a type of investment vehicle that allows you to invest in a basket of securities, such as stocks or bonds, in one transaction. Global ETFs provide exposure to international markets and can offer diversification benefits.
At Franklin Templeton, we offer both equity and fixed income global ETFs. Our equity ETFs provide exposure to stocks in developed and emerging markets worldwide, and our fixed income ETFs offer exposure to government and corporate bonds from countries across the globe. By adding global ETFs to your portfolio, you can gain diversification benefits and access to a broad range of investment opportunities.
Our Global ETFs
Sustainable ETFs
We understand that investors are increasingly interested in sustainability. Our Franklin Brandywine Global Sustainable Income Optimiser Active ETF and the Franklin ClearBridge Sustainable Global Infrastructure Income Active ETF (FCII) are made for sustainability-driven investors. Both of these ETFs are designed to provide income and capital appreciation while also promoting sustainable practices.
Bonds
Fixed-income investors can also benefit from the global markets. We offer the Franklin Global Aggregate Bond Active ETF for fixed-income investors, which is CAD-Hedged. This ETF provides exposure to a diversified mix of global bonds, including government, corporate and securitized debt from developed and emerging markets. The fund is hedged to Canadian dollars, which helps protect against currency fluctuations.
Dividends
Many investors are looking for ways to generate consistent income from their portfolios. To meet this demand, we offer the Franklin Global Dividend Quality Index ETF. This ETF provides exposure to a diversified basket of high-quality, global dividend-paying stocks.
Growth
Growth investors continually seek opportunities for outsized returns while also accepting more risk to achieve their goals. That's why we offer the Franklin Global Growth Active ETF. This fund provides access to a portfolio of carefully selected stocks that we believe have the potential to deliver strong growth. And because it is an ETF, it offers investors the flexibility to trade throughout the day.
Why invest in Global ETFs?
There are many reasons to consider investing in global ETFs.
2. Growth potential: Many developed countries are facing slower economic growth, while many emerging markets are experiencing rapid growth. This provides opportunities for investors to profit from rising stock prices in these regions
3. Lower costs: Compared to traditional mutual funds, global ETFs tend to have lower expense ratios. This means more of your investment will go towards actual returns rather than being eaten up by fees.
