"The core equity funds use five factors—Quality, Value, Momentum, Alternative, and Conviction—and have been shown to deliver excess returns over time. Each factor plays a distinct role, and together create a diversified, balanced source of alpha while controlling benchmark relative risks," said Michael Greenberg, SVP, head of Americas Portfolio Management, Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions.2 "The conviction factor allows us to draw on depth of global equity expertise that we have across the firm. It's what makes our fund unique and different than competing offerings."
