One thing has driven Franklin Templeton’s growth and evolution: our focus on delivering better client outcomes. It’s why we’ve built a world-class investment firm that aims to offer the best of both worlds: global strength and boutique specialization. And it’s the reason clients in more than 160 countries have entrusted us with their investments, making us one of the world’s largest asset managers with $1.5 trillion in assets under management.
The world’s top asset managers are a diverse bunch. From pure-play managers to investment bank-owned firms and those with an asset servicing heritage, the different flavours also reflect the changing nature of the sector.
Investors are becoming more sophisticated in how they approach emerging market debt
Pension funds are increasingly showing interest in active ETFs for their flexibility, cost-effectiveness and ability to generate value beyond index returns

Investors are increasingly looking at multi-asset private credit mandates for diversification and stable risk-adjusted returns

Investor demand for alternative lending strategies remains strong as the opportunity set grows
