Franklin Templeton Investments, a global leader in asset management, has decided to launch an ETF that physically replicates the composition of the ICE Catholic Principles ESG Emerging Markets External Sovereign Index.

Thus, the Franklin Catholic Principles Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt UCITS ETF was born, an innovative ETF that allows investors to integrate Catholic values into their investment portfolio.
