Franklin Liberty Canadian Investment Grade Corporate ETF
(FLCI) seeks to provide long-term capital growth and current
income by investing primarily in investment grade corporate debt
issued by Canadian corporations. In seeking to achieve its
investment objective, the actively-managed ETF may also invest in
asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities and Canadian
dollar-denominated debt issued by foreign corporations.
Franklin Liberty Risk Managed Canadian Equity ETF (FLRM)
seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation with reduced
volatility relative to the broad Canadian equity market by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of Canadian
equities. Incorporating a mix of historical and projected financial
and stock market data, equities are selected for this
actively-managed ETF based on a market capitalization-weighted
rules based model, which is designed to identify factors measuring
growth, value, risk and momentum.
Franklin LibertyQT U.S. Equity Index ETF (FLUS) seeks to
replicate the performance of the LibertyQ U.S. Large Cap Equity
Index, before fees and expenses. This smart beta ETF invests
primarily in equity securities of large- and mid-capitalization
U.S. issuers.
