Description

Franklin Core US Enhanced Equity UCITS ETF is an actively managed ETF: it does not track an index — the declared index (S&P 500 Index-NR) is a comparison yardstick only. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.20%, plus 0.03% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 9 million euro, was launched on 26 January 2026 and is domiciled in Ireland.

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

Investment Objective To provide capital appreciation from US large capitalisation equities.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

Investment PolicyThe Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of transferable securities consisting of equity and equity-related securities, of companies of any market capitalisation incorporated, domiciled or having their principal business activities in the U.S. While the Fund invests predominantly in common stocks, it can also invest in equity-related securities including preferred stock, convertible securities and warrants on securities. To a lesser extent the Fund may invest in securities of non-US issuers, including American Depository Receipts. Derivatives and techniques The Fund may use derivatives for hedging, efficient portfolio management and investment purposes. Strategy The Fund uses a quantitative investment approach, meaning it selects investments based on data and models, while aiming to keep the expected level of tracking error relative to the benchmark between 1- 2% in normal market conditions. The strategy employs a proprietary quantitative selection process using a multi-factor model to assign a score based on factors like quality, value, sentiment and alternatives signals with a proprietary score that is developed by the Investment Manager. SFDR category Article 8 (promotes environmental and/or social characteristics under EU regulations). The investment manager applies a proprietary rating methodology using various ESG criteria to assess long-term opportunities and risks. The fund excludes issuers lagging in the transition to a low-carbon economy and excludes or restricts investments in certain industries that are harmful to the environment or society, such as thermal coal, 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.

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.

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: 2.24%), 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.
