Description

Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Bond UCITS ETF EUR (Acc) is an actively managed ETF: it does not track an index — the declared index (Bloomberg Global Aggregate EUR Green Bond Index) is a comparison yardstick only. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.25%, plus 0.11% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 217 million euro, was launched on 29 April 2019 and is domiciled in Ireland.

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

Investment Objective To provide exposure to the European green bond market, whilst maximising total returns.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

Investment PolicyThe Fund invests a minimum of 75% in corporate and government green bonds (bonds whose proceeds finance environmental projects) denominated in or hedged to European currencies. These investments may be of any duration, both investment and below investment grade and have fixed or floating rates. To a lesser extent, the Fund may invest in bonds that are deemed by the Investment Manager to be supportive of a low-carbon future. The Fund may also invest in perpetual bonds, convertible securities, including contingent convertible bonds, and asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Derivatives and techniques The Fund may use derivatives for hedging, efficient portfolio management and investment purposes. Strategy The investment manager uses macroeconomic and interest rate to identify eligible green bonds and securities that appear to offer the best return for their risk level. Sustainable investing The investment manager applies a proprietary rating methodology using various ESG criteria in pursuing its sustainable objective. The Fund determines if securities and their issuers meet green bond standards and/or are contributing 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. SFDR category Article 9 (sustainable investment objective under EU regulations).

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.
