Franklin S&P 500 Paris Aligned Climate UCITS ETF

Franklin S&P 500 Paris Aligned Climate UCITS ETF is an equity exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 Net Zero 2050 Paris-Aligned ESG Index, offering exposure to leading U.S. large-cap companies while prioritizing sustainability and climate goals. Its primary function is to provide investors with diversified access to the U.S. equity market, specifically targeting companies aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement—namely, limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C by the year 2050. The ETF applies comprehensive ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) screening, focusing on firms demonstrating strong climate performance and lower carbon footprints. As a physically replicating, accumulating fund, it reinvests dividends and holds over 260 U.S. stocks, with the technology, consumer discretionary, and healthcare sectors accounting for a substantial portion of assets. With a low total expense ratio of 0.07% per annum and assets under management exceeding 460 million euros, the ETF serves an important role in supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. Its design makes it particularly relevant for investors seeking to combine core U.S. equity exposure with a commitment to sustainable investing and climate alignment.
