- Franklin International Aggregate Bond ETF (FLIA) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to maximize total investment return, consisting of a combination of interest income and capital appreciation, by investing primarily in investment-grade fixed- or floating-rate bonds issued by governments, government agencies, governmental-related entities, and corporate issuers located outside the United States; it also employs currency-related derivatives, such as forwards and futures, to hedge substantially all foreign currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar. The fund's portfolio features a diversified mix of securities across sectors including European Monetary Union government bonds, Asia ex-Japan bonds, Japanese government bonds, non-Eurozone European bonds, Euro investment-grade corporate bonds, Americas ex-U.S. bonds, sovereigns, and quasi-sovereigns, with credit quality primarily in AAA, AA, A, and BBB ratings; geographic exposure emphasizes Europe (45%), Asia (32%), North America (6.5%), and supranational issuers, alongside cash equivalents. Launched on May 30, 2018, and listed on Cboe BZX with CUSIP 35473P611, FLIA is issued by Franklin Templeton ETF Trust, a series of Franklin Resources, Inc., and managed by Franklin Templeton Fixed Income team members including David Zahn, CFA (19 years with firm), John Beck (35 years), Patrick A. Klein, PhD (20 years), and Sonal Desai, PhD (15 years), with total net assets of approximately $674 million, 95 holdings, a weighted average maturity of 6.59 years, effective duration of 5.68 years, and a 30-day SEC yield of 2.49% as of September 30, 2025. In a significant strategic shift effective March 1, 2020, the fund changed its benchmark from the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index to the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Index Hedged USD to align with its enhanced currency hedging strategy, reflecting a focus on reducing non-U.S. dollar volatility while pursuing outperformance through top-down macro analysis and bottom-up security selection. The ETF targets investors seeking fixed-income diversification beyond U.S. markets within the global bond-USD hedged category, with shares tradable on secondary markets potentially at premiums or discounts to net asset value and monthly distributions declared regularly, such as $0.0193 per share recently.
