(Boursier.com) — Franklin Templeton announces the launch of three new active bond ETFs: Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Sovereign UCITS ETF, Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Corp 1-5 Year UCITS ETF and Franklin Euro IG Corporate UCITS ETF.
These new funds bring the total number of active ETFs to 6, while 13 ETFs fall under Section 8 or 9 of the SFDR, now representing more than half of the entire ETF range offered by Franklin Templeton.
These new ETFs provide bond exposure that supports the transition to a low-carbon future.
David Zahn, Head of European Fixed Income, Franklin Templeton, said: “Having launched the first active European green bond ETF over 4 years ago, we continue to identify attractive growth opportunities, Europe remaining a cornerstone of the global green bond market with cumulative issuance totaling €331 billion last year. The launch of the Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Sovereign UCITS ETF and the Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Corp 1-5 Year UCITS ETF adds to our green bond offering to better meet the needs of our clients. Our new green bond strategies aim to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns while providing financial resources to environmentally friendly projects.”
