En börs där aktierna som upplever en kraftig nedgång, är det påminnelse om att utländsk exponering på internationella marknader kan ge investerare den nödvändiga diversifiering som deras portföljer kräver, var här Franklin LibertyShares International Equity Model är avgörande. Denna ETF erbjuder en internationell aktiemodell som ger investerare exponering till utländska aktiemarknader.
Även om amerikanska kapitalmarknaderna har varit standard för många investerare, särskilt på höjden av den utvidgade tjurmarknadsrundan, kommer den djupa nedgången att å flera att förstå att det gäller att diversifiera utomlands.
En tillgångstilldelningsmodell som drivs av Dorsey Wrights Relative Strength Matrix
Franklin LibertyShares International Equity Model är en tillgångstilldelningsmodell som drivs av Dorsey Wrights Relative Strength Matrix, som består av Franklin Templetons passiva serie av börshandlade fonder. Dessa börshandlade fonder ger exponering för olika länder, bland annat utvecklade marknader som Tyskland och Kanada, samtidigt som den ger den nödvändiga exponeringen för tillväxtmarknadsländer som Brasilien och Mexiko.
Med Franklin Templeton som samarbetar med Dorsey Wright för att skapa tillgångstilldelningsmodellen representerar den kombinationen av de två företagen som utnyttjar varandras investeringshanteringsmöjligheter.
Höjdpunkterna i partnerskapet är:
Syftet med denna internationell aktiemodell är att identifiera stora teman på den internationella aktiemarknaden, ha exponering för de fonder som kontrolleras av efterfrågan och eliminera exponering för de fonder som kontrolleras av utbudet.
Den här plattformen ger finansiella rådgivare möjlighet att effektivisera sin investeringsprocess med tekniska verktyg, vilket frigör tid.
Franklin tillhandahåller lågkostnadsfonder passivt enskilt land och regionala ETFs som anses vara föremål för modellen. När nya passiva ETF-företag lanseras kan de inkluderas.
”Med lanseringen av våra landsspecifika och regionala passiva ETFeer var det en naturlig passform att arbeta med Dorsey Wright för att utnyttja deras unika metod för att bygga tillgångstilldelningsmodeller, säger Pierre Caramazza, SVP, chef för ETF Distribution. ”De internationella aktierna har utmanat övergripande portföljavkastning under det senare halvåret. Detta visar intresse för att hantera de relaterade riskerna genom att identifiera relativ styrka för länder och regioner på den internationella aktiemarknaden, upprätthålla exponering för dem som drivs av prismoment och eliminera exponering för dessa uppvisar lägre relativ prismoment.
Den låga kostnaden för breda indexfonder
”Rådgivare är vana vid den låga kostnaden för breda indexfonder, men har inte blivit belönade med avkastningen. Vår Franklin LibertyShares International Equity Model möjliggör potentiellt dem bäst av båda världarna, med Dorsey Wrights disciplinerade trendutveckling och Franklins prisvärda FTSE-indexerade ETF.
Handelskrig har säkert hindrat vissa områden av internationella aktier, särskilt tillväxtmarknader, men deras värderingar i förhållande till priset erbjuder investerare bra värdeförslag. Med USA: s president Donald Trump och Kina, president Xi Jinping, att komma överens om ett våldsbrott med sitt högsta handelsmässiga krig, kommer dessa internationella marknader att gynna ännu mer om ett konkret handelsavtal ska komma till stånd under de kommande månaderna.
Dorsey Wright ansvarar för alla aspekter av portföljkonstruktion och löpande ledning, inklusive fondval och beslut om tillgångsallokering. Strategin innefattar att vara 100% investerad i en av de fem ETF: erna som finns tillgängliga från modellen.
Vidare skall denna internationell aktiemodell identifiera den relativa styrkan i länder och regioner på det internationella aktiemarknadsutrymmet, för att bibehålla exponeringen för de specifika ETFer som drivs av prismomentet. Modellen investerar i de fem bästa EMF-poängen från inventeringsalternativen och kommer att återbalansera exponeringen först efter att poängen sjunkit under medianen.
”För oss på Franklin Templeton är samarbetet med leverantörer som Dorsey Wright ett relativt nytt initiativ,” tillade Caramazza. ”Men i linje med vårt kundfokus såg vi efterfrågan på billiga alternativ till breda passiva index. Vi hanterar det internt med våra aktiva och smarta beta-ETF, och arbetar med utomstående leverantörer som Dorsey Wright för att bygga guidade modeller med vårt passiva land och regionala sviter. Dessa modeller är en logisk förlängning av samma kundkrav.
As April winds down, markets remain on edge, with escalating tariffs and renewed trade tensions keeping volatility in focus. In this summary of our full-length newsletter, we spotlight gold and gold equities, both of which have surged to record levels. We also take a step back from the day-to-day noise in crypto to explore the broader shifts in the regulatory landscape in our latest Whitepaper and present Celestia in detail. Finally, we assess how Moat indexes have held up and evolved amid the turbulence.
Gold & Gold mining equities tend to shine during stress periods
Source: VanEck, World Gold Council.
Gold has attracted renewed interest from investors amid concerns about inflation, currency volatility, and overall market uncertainty. Gold mining companies have recently reported improved profit margins and cash generation, with some initiating share buybacks and maintaining relatively strong balance sheets. Despite these developments, many continue to trade below their historical valuation averages.
While historical trends indicate that gold and gold mining equities have outperformed during certain periods of market stress, these patterns may not repeat under different economic conditions. Performance can be influenced by a range of factors including interest rates, central bank policy, geopolitical developments, and investor sentiment.
⚖️ Whitepaper Highlights: How New Crypto Regulations May Shape the Future
Cryptocurrencies are entering a new era. With the re-election of Donald Trump and the implementation of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, digital assets are moving into a landscape defined not just by innovation, but also by regulatory clarity.
MiCA’s structured and transparent approach aims to promote legitimacy, safeguard investors, and enhance trust in digital asset markets across Europe. It could also serve as a blueprint for other jurisdictions looking to regulate crypto effectively.
Most blockchains, like Ethereum or Bitcoin, are monolithic which means they perform all major functions (consensus, data availability, and execution) on a single layer. This design ensures security but according to new modular networks, limits scalability and flexibility.
The modular blockchain thesis, which Celestia is leading, proposes separation of layers and respective responsibilities in the network.

🌊 Riding the Gold Wave
Chasing the Vein: Fund Flows into Gold Miners
Source: Mining.com. Data as of 21 March 2025. Note: Data covers 493 funds with combined assets under management of $62 billion.
U.S. equity markets experienced significant declines during the month of March. Meanwhile, spot gold price recorded new all-time highs, surpassing the $3,000 per ounce mark on 14 March and closing at a record price of $3123.57 on March 31, a 9.30% ($265.73) monthly gain. As of 31 March, gold prices have risen by 93.61% over the past five years (1). Investors should keep in mind that past performance is not representative of future results.
The gold miners, as represented by the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (GDMNTR), outperformed significantly, up 15.51% during March (2). This gain reflects both their operational leverage to rising gold prices and market perceptions of relative value. However, gold miners can also be subject to heightened volatility, operational risks, and sensitivity to commodity price swings.
While gold and gold equities may serve as diversifiers in a portfolio due to their historically low correlations with many asset classes, investors should remain mindful of the inherent risks, including price volatility, currency movements, and shifts in investor sentiment that can lead to rapid reversals in performance.
Market turbulence in March weighed on stocks. The Moat Index was not immune to the market turmoil, as it declined along with the broad U.S. equity market ending the month lower. However, the Moat Index showed resilience relative to the S&P 500—thanks in part to defensive sector resilience and underweight exposure to mega-caps.
At the same time, the SMID Moat Index lagged small and mid-caps in March. Smaller U.S. stocks were also impacted by global trade tensions and economic growth concerns with the broad small- and mid-cap benchmarks falling during the month. However, year-to-date, the SMID Moat Index remains ahead of the broader small- and mid-cap markets.
