Core sustainable equity exposure Country and industry constraints keep the funds well diversified and closely comparable to their investment universe, enabling investors to easily align their portfolios with decarbonisation goals in one simple trade.1 ‘Forward looking’ investment approach Leverages the latest scientific data sets to provide a more insightful and robust assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, both today and in the future. A new class of benchmark tackling climate change Until now low carbon benchmarks have principally focused on reducing or excluding fossil fuels, with risk assessments based on historical CO2 emissions. The philosophy of the EU Climate Benchmarks is different and aims to not only assess a company based on its carbon footprint (‘backward-looking’ approach) but, through scenario analysis based on innovative new environmental and scientific data sets, also identify potential growth opportunities (‘forward-looking’ approach). Based on a robust framework of risk and opportunity oriented minimum standards, the EU Climate Benchmarks provide a simple and effective tool to align with the decarbonisation goals of the Paris Accord. Risk-oriented standards Help reduce exposure to climate-related financial risks including stranded asset, transition & physical risks Opportunity-oriented standards Help direct capital to those companies leading the transition to a low carbon economy Explore our Paris Aligned Climate ETFs Franklin Templeton’s Paris Aligned Climate ETFs provide access to two leading equity indices, selected and weighted to be compatible with a 1.5ºC global warming scenario.

Franklin STOXX Euro 600 Paris Aligned UCITS ETF intends to track the performance of the Index which is constructed of European large and mid-capitalisation stocks selected from the Parent Index. Such assets have historically been subject to price movements due to such factors as general stock market volatility, changes in the financial outlook or fluctuations in currency markets. As a result, the performance of the Fund can fluctuate significantly over relatively short time periods.

Foreign Currency risk: the risk of loss arising from exchange-rate fluctuations or due to exchange control regulations. Derivative Instruments risk: the risk of loss in an instrument where a small change in the value of the underlying investment may have a larger impact on the value of such instrument. Derivatives may involve additional liquidity, credit and counterparty risks. Index related risk: the risk that quantitative techniques used in creating the Index the Fund seeks to track do not generate the intended result, or that the portfolio of the Fund deviates from its Index composition or performance. Secondary market trading risk: the risk that the shares purchased on the secondary market cannot usually be sold directly back to the Fund and that investors may therefore pay more than the NAV per share when buying shares or may receive less than the current NAV per Share when selling shares.
