LVHI - Franklin International Low - Stock & Dividends

The Franklin International Low Volatility High Dividend Index ETF is designed to provide investors with a stable source of income by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks from profitable companies in developed markets outside of the United States.

The ETF's underlying index focuses on companies with relatively high dividend yields or anticipated dividend yields, which can provide a regular stream of income for investors. Additionally, the index aims to minimize exposure to price and earnings volatility, reducing the risk of sudden market fluctuations.

To achieve this, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities that make up its underlying index. This means that the ETF will track the performance of the index, providing investors with broad diversification and exposure to a range of international companies.

One key benefit of this ETF is its ability to mitigate exposure to exchange-rate fluctuations between the US dollar and other international currencies. This can be particularly important for investors who are concerned about the impact of currency fluctuations on their investments.

The Franklin International Low Volatility High Dividend Index ETF is listed on the BATS exchange under the ticker symbol LVHI and is managed by Legg Mason, a leading global asset management firm based in the United States.
