Franklin Templeton has been honored with the 2025 Top Asset Manager Award, highlighting its proactive growth in alternative investments and international markets. The company’s latest purchase of

Apera Asset Management

, a pan-European private credit manager overseeing €5 billion, has expanded its alternatives platform to $270 billion in assets under management, establishing Franklin Templeton as a prominent player in the rapidly expanding private credit industry. According to Yahoo, this acquisition builds on Franklin Templeton’s 2022 buyout of Alcentra and its alliance with Benefit Street Partners, resulting in one of the world’s largest alternative credit operations.

The company’s progress isn’t limited to alternatives. In October 2025, Envestnet

introduced manager models

featuring interval funds from both Franklin Templeton and

BlackRock

on its WealthTech platform. These offerings, which include Franklin Templeton’s Multi-Manager HNW Portfolios with a 10% allocation to alternatives, are designed to make private markets more accessible for advisors, simplify tax processes, and address liquidity concerns, as reported by

a MarketScreener report

. StockTitan also noted that Envestnet’s collaboration enables Franklin Templeton to offer institutional-level solutions to a wider range of clients through Fund Strategist Portfolios with a $25,000 minimum investment.

In October, Franklin Templeton further broadened its active ETF suite by launching two new global equity strategies,

Morningstar reported

: the Putnam International Stock ETF (PGRI) and the Templeton International Insights ETF (TINS). PGRI targets leading global firms with strong, lasting advantages, while TINS draws on Templeton’s eight decades of experience to uncover undervalued stocks. These additions strengthen the firm’s resilient ETF platform, which now includes over 70 products and $50 billion in assets.

The company’s expansion is also evident in Canada. In October 2025, Franklin Templeton Canada announced cash distributions for several ETFs,

Yahoo Finance reported

. At the same time, Franklin BSP Realty Trust, a subsidiary,

released its Q3 2025 results

, posting an adjusted EPS of $0.22 per share, though net income was down from the previous quarter.

Franklin Templeton’s strategic moves are in line with broader industry shifts. Moody’s forecasts that private credit assets under management will reach $3 trillion by 2028, a trend highlighted in Yahoo’s coverage of the Apera deal, and Franklin Templeton’s acquisition directly addresses this anticipated growth. The partnership with Envestnet also tackles key challenges for advisors seeking alternative investments, a segment expected to attract more interest as investors look for returns in a slow-growth market, as noted in reports on the Envestnet launch.

As the company marks this recent recognition, CEO Jenny Johnson stated, "We are excited to welcome Apera’s talented professionals and are confident that our combined strengths will offer even greater benefits to clients worldwide." With a diverse platform spanning alternatives, ETFs, and international equities, Franklin Templeton is well placed to take advantage of changing market trends.
