Individual Investor Contact Us Careers United Kingdom Our Company Products Fund Views Insights Resources Search UK EQUITY ZOOM IN ON THE BEST UK INVESTMENTS Why Choose UK Equity? Our UK equity funds are positioned to capitalise on a wide range of investment opportunities. Some of the key themes currently driving performance are shown below. Retirement planning With a growing UK population, a rise in wealthy pensioners and changes in pension regulation, we see structurally rising demand for retirement, pension and savings products in the UK market, and are finding very attractive investment opportunities in that space. Shortage of UK housing We see compelling investments in the UK housebuilding sector given the notable shortage of new houses relative to demand, offering good growth opportunities for selected housebuilders and construction material companies. Ageing population We see considerable opportunity in the healthcare sector as growth is vital for addressing unmet medical needs and tackling rising demand from a growing global population. Why Choose Franklin Templeton? The Franklin UK Equity Team includes eight investment professionals dedicated to researching UK companies and investing across the depth and breadth of the UK market. Passionate Our ambition is to make investments in UK companies that can help you meet your goals. We treat client money as carefully as our own, ensuring all risks are fully understood and appropriately rewarded. Active Rather than track a benchmark, we screen the UK stock market to eliminate companies with high levels of business risk, balance sheet risk or management risk before searching for undervalued companies to invest in. Expert The core of the Franklin UK Equity team has worked together for more than 20 years. They work in a highly collaborative manner, sharing research and discussing and challenging each other’s investment ideas. Which Franklin Templeton UK Equity Funds Can I Invest In?

Every investor’s goals are unique and proper guidance towards the most suitable products is essential. The value of investments can go down as well as up and investors should be aware they might not get back the full value invested.
