Franklin Templeton has introduced the Franklin ClearBridge US Smaller Companies UCITS ETF, offering exposure to US smaller companies.
This ETF, listed on the London Stock Exchange on 3 November, is the sixth product by Franklin Templeton to provide exposure to US equities.
The fund is differentiated by its active approach, providing diversification beyond mega-caps and offering exposure to early-stage innovators often overlooked in large-cap portfolios, screened from the Russell 2500 index.
The management team, including Brian Angerame, Jeffrey Bailin, Aram Green, and Matthew Lilling, will engage with companies before investing and maintain ongoing engagement.
