Stable, consistent, and reliable. Sounds boring?

Bonds are sometimes referred to as "boring" investments due to their relatively stable nature compared to other investment options like stocks or commodities. While the term "boring" might sound negative, there are several reasons why this relative stability can be seen as a positive attribute for investors. A reliable income from fixed income ETFs can help smooth out the overall returns of the portfolio and provide a stable cash flow. Including fixed income ETFs in a portfolio can add diversification benefits. It can provide a cushion during turbulent market conditions and could help maintain portfolio stability. 

WHAT IS AN ACTIVE ETF?

Did you know? ETFs can be Active

In one and a half minute, Marcus Weyerer, Senior ETF Investment Strategist for Europe at Franklin Templeton, explains what Active ETFs are and how they mix active management with the advantages of investing in ETFs.

WHY INVEST IN ACTIVE ETFs?

Combine investment capabilities and expertise with the benefits of an ETF structure

  

Potential for Better Outcomes

An active approach allows portfolio managers to pursue opportunities based on insights around the direction of interest rates, sector rotation and issuer selection, rather than simply reflecting the benchmark as passive ETFs would do.  It also gives portfolio managers the flexibility to address concentration risk at the issuer level.

Built on Research-Driven Insights

Managed by Franklin Templeton’s fixed income investment professionals with insights from research teams located around the world.  The team has more than 75 years experience in delivering fixed income solutions around the globe.

Investment Expertise delivered in an ETF

There are four key benefits of the ETF structure vs. a traditional open end fund.  Firstly and most important, ETFs can offer lower operating costs which means more of your money works for you.  They also offer flexible trading, greater transparency, and cost efficiency.
