The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

Investment Objective To provide exposure to companies that are involved in delivering sustainable products and services related to health and wellness globally.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

Investment PolicyThe Fund invests in equities of developed market companies that utilize technology and demonstrate innovation within the healthcare industry as well as companies that are enabling access to care, health, or wellness provision for a wide range of consumers including the elderly. To be included in the Index, such securities have, or are expected to have, exposure to the provision of products and/or services that contribute to health and wellbeing. Such companies operate in industry categories such as senior diseases, genomics, robotic surgery, medical imaging, E-Health and healthcare access, housing and medical care, mind and body wellness and independent aging. Index Securities are selected from the Solactive GBS Developed Markets All Cap Index (the “Parent Index”) based on screening publicly available information such as financial news, business profiles and company publications using the Index Provider's proprietary natural language processing algorithm. Derivatives and techniques The Fund may use derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management. Strategy The investment manager seeks to minimise the difference between the Fund’s performance and that of the benchmark (tracking error), regardless of whether the benchmark level rises or falls. SFDR category Article 8 (promotes environmental and/or social characteristics under EU regulations). The benchmark consists of companies with higher environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings relative to their sector peers. It also excludes or restricts investments in certain industries that are harmful to the environment or society, such as fossil fuels, weapons and tobacco.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
Source: Franklin Templeton. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER.

Windows longer than the available price history cannot be computed and are not shown: they will appear on their own as time passes. Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.21%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate. Same formulas as our public methodology: sample standard deviation annualised over 252 days; Sortino with downside deviation. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Figures in EUR — series converted day by day at ECB reference rates; the table follows the currency selected in the chart.
