ABOUT THE TRUST
Franklin Global Trust plc is a best-ideas portfolio of 25–40 top global companies, handpicked to deliver long-term returns in excess of the total return MSCI All Country World Index.
Renamed in April 2025 from Martin Currie Global Portfolio Trust, it reflects our strengthened partnership with Franklin Equity Group — unlocking even greater expertise and investment insight.
We believe Franklin Global Trust gives you a well-diversified portfolio with exposure to a range of exciting international markets that may be difficult to replicate any other way. That’s why many financial planners use global investments as a ‘core’ holding within an investment portfolio.
We’ve created a portfolio consisting of businesses we believe are leaders and innovators at the forefront of some multi-decade investment themes such as the rise of electric vehicles, growth of the emerging market middle class and the onset of artificial intelligence.
We believe that to be a ‘proper investor’ is to be a long-term investor. Our goal is to give our shareholders consistent outperformance over the long term.
Discover the inside story on leading companies in our global portfolio and why they offer long-term growth potential.
