Strengthening core equity allocations to withstand ESG shocks
S&P Guarded Indices offer a smarter path forward: targeting companies with superior ESG and carbon emissions profile, all while closely tracking their parent benchmarks. It’s a powerful combination built for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Watch the replay of the dynamic discussion with Bárbara Velado, Associate Director, Global Equity & Thematic Indices at S&P Dow Jones Indices, and Rafaelle Lennox, Head of UCITS ETF Product Strategy at Franklin Templeton, as they explore opportunities and risks for equity investors and strategies for integrating ESG criteria without losing sight of performance.
Sustainability-related Disclosures
The Sub-Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics in accordance with Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (the “SFDR”).
In its implementation of the Fund’s Environmental, Social, Governance (“ESG”) strategy, the Investment Manager tracks the S&P 500 Guarded Index which is structured to represent the performance of a portfolio of companies that overweighs constituents with higher Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance and lower carbon emissions and underweight constituents with lower Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance and higher carbon emissions, while excludes companies that are involved in controversial businesses like weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, military contracting, and oil sands.
The Fund’s environmental or social characteristics are assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively, by means of sustainability indicators as well as applying exclusions through the Fund’s replication of the Index as further described in the website disclosure’s dedicated sections. As part of its investment decision making process, the Fund’s ESG strategy also relies on the binding criteria used by the Index for the selection of underlying assets.
Finally, the Fund has a minimum allocation of 5% of its portfolio to sustainable investments. The Fund ensures that its sustainable investments do not cause significant harm to any environmental or social sustainable investment objective.
What Are The Key Risks?
The Fund does not offer any capital guarantee or protection and you may not get back the amount invested.
- The Fund is subject to the following risks which are materially relevant:
Index Tracking Risk: No financial instrument or set of investment techniques enables the returns of any Index to be reproduced or tracked exactly. Changes in the investments of any Sub-Fund and re-weightings of the relevant Index may give rise to various transaction costs, operating expenses or inefficiencies which may adversely impact a Sub-Fund’s tracking of an Index.
Index License Risk: To utilise an Index, the Fund may need to have a licence agreement signed with the Index Provider. If, at any time in respect of an Index, the licence granted terminates or disputed, impaired or ceases to exist ,the Directors may be forced to replace the Index with another Index. Such a substitution or any delay in such a substitution may have an adverse impact on the Sub-Fund.
Passive Investment Risk: An Index Tracking Sub-Fund will be negatively affected by general declines in the securities and asset classes represented in its Index. Because Index Tracking Sub-Funds are not “actively” managed, Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on an Index Tracking Sub-Fund's ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels.
Sustainability risk: The fund's integration of sustainability risks in the investment decision process may have the effect of excluding profitable investments from the investment universe of the fund and may also cause the fund to sell investments that will continue to perform well. A sustainability risk could materialise due to an environmental, social or governance event or condition which may impact the fund's investments and negatively affect the returns of the fund.
Index related risk: the risk that quantitative techniques used in creating the Index the Fund seeks to track do not generate the intended result, or that the portfolio of the Fund deviates from its Index composition or performance.
Complete information on the risks of investing in the Fund are set out in the Fund's prospectus.

Franklin Templeton ETFs (domiciled outside of the U.S. or Canada) may not be directly or indirectly offered or sold to residents of the United States of America and Canada. ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
This fund meets the requirements under Article 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR); the fund has binding commitments in its investment policy to promote environmental and/or social characteristics and any companies in which it invests should follow good governance practices.

This material is intended to be of general interest only and should not be construed as individual investment advice or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any security or to adopt any investment strategy. It does not constitute legal or tax advice. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments; investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors. To the extent the fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, it may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas at focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments. For the avoidance of doubt, if you make a decision to invest, you will be buying units/shares in the Fund and will not be investing directly in the underlying assets of the Fund.

In addition, deposit costs may be incurred which could have a negative effect on the value. Please find out the costs due from the respective price lists from the processing/custodian bank. Changes in exchange rates could have positive or negative effects on this investment.

Footnotes
The above listed Funds prices are unconfirmed unless stated otherwise and for information only, as they have not yet been verified by the Administrative Agent of the relevant Funds. Neither the Fund itself nor Franklin Templeton accepts responsibility for any reliance placed on the prices indicated and the information included in this data file. Purchase, exchange and redemptions of Shares can only be made on the basis of confirmed prices. Confirmed prices may be obtained after 12pm noon from Franklin Templeton.
Net Asset Value (NAV) represents an ETF's per-share-value. The NAV per share is determined by dividing the total NAV of the Fund by the number of shares outstanding.
The Methodology indicates whether an ETF is holding all index securities in the same weight as the index (i.e. Physical Replication) or whether an optimized subset of index securities is used (i.e. Optimized) in order to efficiently track index performance.
The Product Structure indicates whether an ETF is holding physical securities (i.e. Physical) or whether it is tracking the index performance using derivatives (swaps, i.e. Synthetic).
Total Expense Ratio (TER) includes the fees paid to the management company, the investment manager and the depository, as well as certain other expenses. The TER is calculated by taking the relevant main material costs paid out over the 12-month period indicated and dividing them by the average net assets over the same period. The TER does not include all expenses paid by the fund (for example, it does not include what the fund pays for buying and selling securities). For a comprehensive list of the types of costs deducted from fund assets, see the prospectus. For recent all-in annual costs, see the KIID.
For funds that lack 12 months of data, or for which TER is not likely to give a fair idea of likely future costs, the figure shown is an estimate.
The charges are the fees the fund charges to investors to cover the costs of running the Fund. Additional costs, including transaction fees, will also be incurred. These costs are paid out by the Fund, which will impact on the overall return of the Fund.
Fund charges will be incurred in multiple currencies, meaning that payments may increase or decrease as a result of currency exchange fluctuations.
All charges will be paid out by the Fund, which will impact on the overall return of the Fund.The Dividend Yield quoted here is the yield on securities within the Fund’s portfolio and should not be used as an indication of the income received from this portfolio.
Morningstar ratings are applied at share class level, which means that each share class requires 36 monthly returns before it will be awarded a rating.
