Franklin Templeton The ETF provides access to the top 100 US large cap stocks giving investors a tool to increase US equity exposure or quickly implement a risk on trade. The largest US stocks demonstrate a performance profile when compared with broader US holdings and can be used as a granular complement to existing US holdings, the firm said in a statement. The firm highlighted that US mega caps tend to exhibit higher profitability and stronger earnings growth and remain there longer, driving long-term performance. In the past 10 years, during the five corrections when the market dropped by over 10 per cent, the US mega cap 100 also outperformed the S&P 500 Index in three of those five periods, the firm added.

The ETF provides exposure to the largest 100 US-listed companies, tracking the Solactive US Mega Cap 100 Select Index. The exchange-traded fund has a total expense ratio of 0.09 per cent.
