Rethinking core equity – how to add conviction without losing control

Date: Wednesday, 3 June, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM British Summer Time
Duration: 45 minutes


Core equity exposures play a critical role in portfolios and investors increasingly want them to do more than simply track the market. In this webinar, we'll discuss the Franklin core equity strategies. They are a disciplined, scalable core equity approach designed to deliver dependable exposure while applying active insight with clear intent.

Join Harry Reeves, Head of UK Wholesale at Franklin Templeton, in conversation with Lisa Wang, Head of EMEA Investment Strategy at Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions, to explore how the Franklin Core Equity strategies bring a more intentional design to core equity exposure.

In this session, Lisa will share:

  • how investors think about risk, benchmarks and portfolio behaviour in core equity
  • why systematic discipline remains essential in core allocations
  • how conviction can be applied deliberately and with control
  • what this means for investors reviewing or enhancing core equity exposure

We’ll focus on practical portfolio construction grounded in real-world implementation for professional investors navigating the changing demands placed on core equity today.
