ANNUAL REPORT

Economic and Market Overview

Global developed and emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index-NR (net of taxes on dividends), advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2021. Following sharp declines in early 2020 amid the onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, global equities began to rebound in the spring amid monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, easing lockdown restrictions, and vaccine and treatment development. Stocks declined again in September and October, due to geopolitical tensions and rising infection rates, but began to rebound in November as successful trials of COVID-19 vaccines, the start of vaccination programs and expectations for additional fiscal stimulus led many equity markets to reach new highs. Indications of economic recovery in many countries also helped drive stocks higher.

In the U.S., equities rallied following the initial shock of pandemic-related restrictions and mass layoffs, which pushed the unemployment rate to 14.8% in April 2020.¹ Equities began to rebound in the spring amid the government’s fiscal and monetary stimulus measures, partial economic reopening, rising retail sales and optimism about treatments and potential vaccines for COVID-19. Following a record annualized decline in the second-quarter 2020 gross domestic product (GDP), resilient consumer spending helped drive the third-quarter GDP to expand at a record annualized rate, although growth slowed in the fourth quarter. Equities continued to rise during the summer but declined in the fall due to concerns about possible new restrictions amid rising COVID-19 infection rates and uncertainties about additional fiscal stimulus and the U.S. presidential election. Investor sentiment improved beginning in November following the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, the start of COVID-19 vaccination programs and the passage of a new U.S. stimulus bill. The U.S. economy’s continued recovery, with the unemployment rate ending the period at 6.0%, helped drive U.S. equities, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index, to reach all-time price highs in March 2021.¹

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the federal funds target rate at a record-low range of 0.00%–0.25% and continued its

program of open-ended bond purchases to help keep markets functioning. Furthermore, the Fed reiterated that interest rates would potentially remain low, even if inflation moderately exceeded the Fed’s 2% target.

In the eurozone, economic recovery remained uneven, as growth resumed in the third quarter of 2020 but contracted in the fourth quarter. GDP growth rates varied widely among the region’s largest economies amid renewed lockdowns and delays in COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Germany’s and Spain’s GDP expanded modestly in the fourth quarter, while France’s contracted. Despite investor concerns about rising infection rates and a slow vaccination rollout, general optimism that successful vaccine programs would lift global growth, along with a Brexit resolution, contributed to strong gains for European developed market equities, as measured by the MSCI Europe Index-NR.

Asian developed and emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country Asia Index-NR, advanced sharply for the period. China, a key driver of regional economies, began to recover in the second quarter of 2020 and was the only major global economy to post positive GDP growth for full-year 2020 amid strong manufacturing gains. Despite paring gains in March 2021, Asian equity markets finished the period sharply higher amid optimism that economic revitalization would be further spurred by COVID-19 vaccines.

Global emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index-NR, also rose significantly for the period. Improving economic activity, stabilizing oil prices and U.S. dollar weakness supported emerging market equities. Despite higher COVID-19 cases in some countries, emerging market stocks rallied amid easing political uncertainty, commencement of COVID-19 vaccinations and rising commodity prices.

Franklin LibertyQ Emerging Markets ETF

This annual report for Franklin LibertyQ Emerging Markets ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ Emerging Markets (EM) Index (the Underlying Index).^{1 Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. The Underlying Index includes stocks from emerging market countries that have favorable exposure to four
investment-style factors: quality, value, momentum and low volatility, subject to a maximum 1% per company weighting. The Underlying Index seeks to achieve a lower level of risk and higher risk-adjusted performance than the MSCI EM Index over the
long term by selecting equity securities from the MSCI EM Index that have exposure to these investment-style factors.}

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +44.24% based on market price and +42.57% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the LibertyQ EM Index-NR posted a +43.27% total return for the same period, while the MSCI EM Index-NR posted a +58.39% total return.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 6.

Performance data represent past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares. Current performance may differ from figures shown. For most recent month-end performance, go to franklintempleton.com or call (800) 342-5236.

*Figures are stated as a percentage of total and may not equal 100% or may be negative due to rounding, use of any derivatives, unsettled trades or other factors.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ EM Index. The investment manager seeks to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. The Fund’s portfolio is reconstituted semiannually following the semiannual reconstitution of the Underlying Index.

1. The LibertyQ EM Index is a systematic, rules-based proprietary index that is owned and calculated by MSCI Inc. (MSCI). It is based on the MSCI EM Index using a methodology developed with Franklin Templeton to reflect Franklin Templeton’s desired investment strategy. The MSCI EM Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets.

The indexes are unmanaged and include reinvestment of any income or distributions. They do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. One cannot invest directly in an index. Net Returns (NR) include income net of tax withholding when dividends are paid.

Manager’s Discussion

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, individual holdings that lifted the Fund’s absolute return included Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Infosys and HCL Technologies. Individual holdings that hindered the Fund’s absolute return included China Mobile, Top Glove and China Minsheng Banking.

The Fund’s research-based selection process focuses on four investment factors: value, quality, momentum and low volatility. Of the four target-style factors, low volatility significantly detracted from the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period, while value and quality also detracted. In contrast, the momentum factor was a marginal contributor to the Fund’s relative return.

FRANKLIN LIBERTYQ EMERGING MARKETS ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance table and graph do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (6/3/16), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Your dividend income will vary depending on dividends or interest paid by securities in the Fund’s portfolio, adjusted for operating expenses. Capital gain distributions are net profits realized from the sale of portfolio securities.

FRANKLIN LIBERTYQ EMERGING MARKETS ETF

Your Fund’s Expenses

As a Fund shareholder, you can incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; and (2) ongoing Fund costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. All funds have ongoing costs, sometimes referred to as operating expenses. The table below shows ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and can help you understand these costs and compare them with those of other funds. The table assumes a $1,000 investment held for the six months indicated.

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Under the heading “Hypothetical” in the table, information is provided about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. This information may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period, but it can help you compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with those of other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, information under the heading “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your total costs would have been higher.


		Actual (actual return after expenses)				Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)

Beginning Account Value 10/1/20		Ending Account Value 3/31/21		Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/20–3/31/21^1,2		Ending Account Value 3/31/21		Expenses Paid During Period 10/1/20–3/31/21^1,2		Net Annualized Expense Ratio²
	$1,000.00	$	1,223.20	$	2.49	$	1,022.69	$	2.27		0.45	%

1. Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the six-month period as indicated above—in the far right column—multiplied by the simple average account value over the period indicated, and then multiplied by 182/365 to reflect the one-half year period.

2. Reflects expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ Global Equity Index. The investment manager seeks to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. The Fund’s portfolio is reconstituted semiannually following the semiannual reconstitution of the Underlying Index.

Manager’s Discussion

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, individual holdings that lifted the Fund’s absolute return included Taiwan Manufacturing Semiconductor Co., Apple and Lowe’s. Individual holdings that hindered the Fund’s absolute return included Biogen, Gilead Sciences and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

The Fund’s research-based selection process focuses on four investment factors: value, quality, momentum and low volatility. Of the four target-style factors, low volatility significantly detracted from the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period, while value and quality also detracted. The momentum factor had no significant impact on the Fund’s relative return.

Franklin LibertyQ International Equity Hedged ETF

This annual report for Franklin LibertyQ International Equity Hedged ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ International Equity Hedged Index (the Underlying Index).¹Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. The Underlying Index includes stocks from developed market countries in Europe, Australasia and the Far East (EAFE) that have favorable exposure to four investment-style factors: quality, value, momentum and low volatility, subject to a maximum 2% per company weighting. The Underlying Index seeks to achieve a lower level of risk and higher risk-adjusted performance than the MSCI EAFE Index over the long term by selecting equity securities from the MSCI EAFE Index that have exposure to these investment-style factors. The Underlying Index incorporates a hedge against non-U.S. currency fluctuations by reflecting the impact of rolling monthly currency forward contracts on the currencies represented in the Underlying Index.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +29.08% based on market price and +27.54% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, LibertyQ International Equity Hedged Index-NR posted a +27.91% total return for the same period, while the MSCI EAFE 100% Hedged to USD Index-NR posted a +37.75% total return.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 26.

Manager’s Discussion

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, individual holdings that lifted the Fund’s absolute return included BHP Group, Rio Tinto and Tokyo Electron. Individual holdings that hindered the Fund’s absolute return included KAO, M3 and a2 Milk. The Fund’s use of currency forward contracts—designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to the component currencies and replicate the hedge impact incorporated in the calculations of the Underlying Index—also detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance.

The Fund’s research-based selection process focuses on four investment factors: value, quality, momentum and low volatility. Of the four target-style factors, low volatility significantly detracted from the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period, while quality, value and momentum also modestly detracted.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin Templeton ETF Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of forty-five separate funds, four of which are included in this report (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Each of the Funds are an exchange traded fund (ETF) and seek to provide the investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of each Fund’s corresponding underlying index.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds’ investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Funds calculate the net asset value (NAV) per share as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Funds’ administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation Committee (VC).

The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Equity securities, exchange traded funds and derivative financial instruments listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of 4 p.m. Eastern time. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. London time on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV.

Certain derivative financial instruments are centrally cleared or trade in the OTC market. The Funds’ pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Funds’ net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

The Funds have procedures to determine the fair value of financial instruments for which market prices are not reliable or readily available. Under these procedures, the Funds primarily employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.

Trading in securities on foreign securities stock exchanges and OTC markets may be completed before 4 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, trading in certain foreign markets may not take place on every Funds’ business day. Occasionally, events occur between the time at which trading in a foreign security is completed and 4 p.m. Eastern time that might call into question the reliability of the value of a portfolio security held by the Fund. As a result, differences may arise between the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities as determined at the foreign market close and the latest indications of value at 4 p.m. Eastern time. The VC monitors price movements for significant events following the close of trading in foreign stock markets through a series of country specific market proxies (such as baskets of American Depositary Receipts, futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Funds. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

When the last day of the reporting period is a non-business day, certain foreign markets may be open on those days that the Funds’ NAV is not calculated, which could result in differences between the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities on the last business day and the last calendar day of the reporting period. Any significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Funds for financial reporting purposes.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Portfolio securities and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies contain risks that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Occasionally, events may impact the availability or reliability of foreign exchange rates used to convert the U.S. dollar equivalent value. If such an event occurs, the foreign exchange rate will be valued at fair value using procedures established and approved by the Board.

The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statements of Operations.

Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

Certain or all Funds invested in derivative financial instruments in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. Derivatives are financial contracts based on an underlying or notional amount, require no initial investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would normally be required to have a similar response to changes in market factors, and require or permit net settlement. Derivatives contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements which expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.

Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the Fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount, which typically ranges from $100,000 to $250,000, and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of Fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the Fund or the counterparty the next business day, or within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the Fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the Fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Funds’ investment objectives. To the extent that the amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not subject to collateralization or are not fully collateralized, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

Certain or all Funds entered into exchange traded futures contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to equity price risk. A futures contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. Required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

Certain or all Funds entered into OTC forward exchange contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies. A forward exchange contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on a future date.

See Note 8 regarding other derivative information.

d. Securities Lending

Certain or all Funds participate in an agency based securities lending program to earn additional income. The Fund receives cash collateral against the loaned securities in an amount equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the fair value of loaned securities, as determined at the close of Fund business each day; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The collateral is deposited into a joint cash account with other funds and is used to invest in a money market fund managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. The Fund may receive income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. Income from securities loaned, net of fees paid to the securities lending agent and/or third-party vendor, is reported separately in the Statements of Operations. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral received. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

e. Income and Deferred Taxes

It is each Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code. Each Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. As a result, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Funds invest. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, certain or all Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

Each Fund may recognize an income tax liability related to its uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP when the uncertain tax position has a less than 50% probability that it will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on its technical merits. As of March 31, 2021, each Fund has determined that no tax liability is required in its financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for any open tax years (or expected to be taken in future tax years). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on the statute of limitations in each jurisdiction in which the Fund invests.

f. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest Income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from securities where the dividend rate is not available. In such cases, the dividend is recorded as soon as the information is received by the Funds. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable earnings are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis) and may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of net assets of each Fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Certain Fund specific expenses are allocated directly to the Fund that incurred the expense. These expenses are paid by the Funds or by the investment manager, as applicable, according to the terms of the unified management fee agreement.

g. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and

g. Accounting Estimates (continued)

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

h. Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities

arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

Shares of the Funds are issued and redeemed at their respective NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (Creation Units). Only certain large institutional investors (Authorized Participants) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Funds. Once created, shares of the Funds generally trade in the secondary market in amounts less than one Creation Unit. The market price of the Funds’ shares will be based on the price in the secondary market which may be at, above or below the most recent NAV. Creation Units may be issued and redeemed in exchange for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (which may include cash in lieu of certain securities).

Authorized Participants pay a standard transaction fee to the shareholder servicing agent when purchasing or redeeming Creation Units of the Funds regardless of the number of Creation Units that are being created or redeemed on the same day by the Authorized Participant. The standard transaction fee is imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units and is not charged to or paid by the Funds.

In addition, for cash Creation Unit transactions, a variable fee for creation transactions and redemption transactions may be charged to the Authorized Participant to cover certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades. Variable fees, if any, are included in capital share transactions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

At March 31, 2021, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized (without par value). Transactions in the Funds’ shares were as follows:

c. Investments in Affiliated Management Investment Companies

Certain or all Funds invest in one or more affiliated management investment companies. As defined in the 1940 Act, an investment is deemed to be a “Controlled Affiliate” of a fund when a fund owns, either directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the affiliated fund’s outstanding shares or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such fund. The Funds do not invest for purposes of exercising a controlling influence over the management or policies. Management fees paid by the Funds are waived on assets invested in the affiliated management investment companies, as noted in the Statements of Operations, in an amount not to exceed the management and administrative fees paid directly or indirectly by each affiliate. During the year ended March 31, 2021, investments in affiliated management investment companies were as follows:

6. Concentration of Risk

Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values and changing local, regional and global economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. Current political and financial uncertainty surrounding the European Union may increase market volatility and the economic risk of investing in securities in Europe. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities.

The United States and other nations have imposed and could impose additional sanctions on certain issuers in Russia due to regional conflicts. These sanctions could result in the devaluation of Russia’s currency, a downgrade in Russian issuers’ credit ratings, or a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian stocks or other securities. Such sanctions could also adversely affect Russia’s economy. Certain or all Funds may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such sanctions. In addition, if the Fund holds the securities of an issuer that is subject to such sanctions, an immediate freeze of that issuer’s securities could result, impairing the ability of the Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. There is also the risk that countermeasures could be taken by Russia’s government, which could involve the seizure of the Fund’s assets. These risks could affect the value of the Funds’ portfolio. While the Funds hold securities of certain issuers impacted by the sanctions, existing investments do not presently violate the applicable terms and conditions of the sanctions. The sanctions currently do not affect the Fund’s ability to sell these securities. At March 31, 2021, Franklin LibertyQ Emerging Markets ETF had 11.3% of its net assets invested in Russia. The remaining Funds in the Trust did not have significant investment in Russia.

7. Novel Coronavirus Pandemic

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, has caused adverse effects on many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the markets in general, and may continue for an unpredictable duration. The effects of this pandemic may materially impact the value and performance of the Funds, their ability to buy and sell fund investments at appropriate valuations and their ability to achieve their investment objectives.

9. Fair Value Measurements

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds’ own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ financial instruments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, of Franklin LibertyQ Emerging Markets ETF, Franklin LibertyQ Global Dividend ETF, Franklin LibertyQ Global Equity ETF and Franklin LibertyQ International Equity Hedged ETF (four of the funds constituting Franklin Templeton ETF Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted marginally positive total returns during the 12 months ended March 31, 2021. The period began at the height of the economic and social disruption that came in the wake of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which significantly impacted U.S. bond markets. Throughout the 12-month period, as the U.S. economy adapted to the presence of COVID-19, investor appetite for risk increased. Consequently, lower-rated bonds posted significantly greater returns than higher-rated bonds. In early 2021, however, the implementation of mass vaccination programs alongside improving economic indicators prompted investors to anticipate that increased inflation would lead to higher interest rates.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained the federal funds target rate at a range of 0.00%–0.25% and continued its program of open-ended purchasing of government-backed and corporate bonds as necessary to provide liquidity to bond markets. Furthermore, the Fed signaled that interest rates would potentially remain low, even if inflation moderately exceeded the Fed’s 2% target for some time.

U.S. Treasury bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, posted negative total returns during the period. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield (which moves inversely to price) was at or near all-time lows for the first half of the reporting period. However, yields rose in the period’s second half, as renewed strength in the economy prompted investors to increase their inflation expectations. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays MBS Index, had marginally negative total returns for the period despite Fed support, as lower interest rates accelerated prepayments from mortgage refinancing, which weighed on MBS returns.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY INVESTMENT GRADE CORPORATE ETF

Index, posted a strong advance, outpacing investment-grade corporate bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index, which nevertheless posted solid returns.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated corporate debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity or duration.

The Fund’s focus on the credit quality of its portfolio is intended to reduce credit risk and help to preserve the Fund’s capital. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in convertible securities, preferred securities and U.S. Treasury securities, and generally expects to invest a portion of its assets in cash, cash equivalents and high-quality money market securities, including short-term U.S. government securities, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its net assets in foreign securities, including those in developing markets, and up to 15% of its net assets in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities. The Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to enhance Fund returns, increase liquidity, gain exposure to certain instruments or markets in a more efficient or less expensive way and/or hedge risks associated with its other portfolio investments.

In choosing investments, we select securities in various market sectors based on our assessment of changing economic, market, industry and issuer conditions. We use a top-down analysis of macroeconomic trends, combined with a bottom-up fundamental analysis of market sectors, industries and issuers, to try to take advantage of varying sector reactions to economic events. The Fund’s portfolio is constructed by taking into account our desired duration and yield curve exposure, total return potential, as well as the appropriate diversification and risk profile at the issue, company and industry level.

Manager’s Discussion

Investment-grade (IG) corporate bonds performed well for most of the 12 months under review, helped by lower U.S. Treasury yields for most of 2020 and tighter bond spreads. Performance turned negative in the later months of the review period, as Treasury yields rebounded to levels last seen in early 2020.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark for the 12 months under review. Our allocation across quality segments was the main contributor to performance, relative to the benchmark, and our allocation across industries also helped. By contrast, security selection within industry sectors and the Fund’s yield curve positioning detracted from relative returns.

The Fund’s overweighted allocation to lower-quality issues was positive for relative performance during the period, as those bonds rebounded strongly after the initial novel coronavirus shock to financial markets in early 2020. Industry allocation also helped performance, helped by a significant overweighted allocation to the energy industry. Underweighted positions in banking and technology were positive drivers as well.

Security selection hurt performance during the period, as some of the higher-quality issues in the portfolio lagged returns within their sector, as spreads tightened. Duration and yield curve positioning was a modest negative, too, although the Fund’s duration remained close to the benchmark’s duration during the entire review period.

The Fund held primarily cash bonds during the period, but used credit index derivatives to gain market exposure on a temporary, tactical basis. The Fund also used interest rate futures contracts to manage duration exposure.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY INVESTMENT GRADE CORPORATE ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance tables do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (10/5/16), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Distributions to shareholders may decline when prevailing interest rates fall or when the Fund experiences defaults on debt securities it holds. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities involve certain risks including currency fluctuations, and economic and political uncertainties. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. Investing in derivative securities and the use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the Fund. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

1. The Fund has a fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement contractually guaranteed through 7/31/21. Fund investment results reflect the expense reduction; without this reduction, the results would have been lower.

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Franklin Liberty Ultra Short Bond ETF

This annual report for Franklin Liberty Ultra Short Bond ETF covers the period since the Fund’s inception on July 14, 2020, through March 31, 2021.

Performance Overview

For the period since inception on July 14, 2020, through March 31, 2021, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +0.91% based on market price and +0.91% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the ICE BofA U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which tracks the performance of short-term U.S. government securities with a remaining term to final maturity of less than three months, posted a +0.09% total return.¹ You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 12.

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted negative total returns during the period since Fund’s inception on July 14, 2020, through March 31, 2021. Prior to the review period, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused economic and social disruption that significantly impacted U.S. bond markets. Throughout the review period, as the U.S. economy adapted to the presence of COVID-19, investor appetite for risk increased. Consequently, lower-rated bonds posted significantly greater returns than higher-rated bonds. In early 2021, however, the implementation of mass vaccination programs alongside improving economic indicators prompted investors to anticipate that increased inflation would lead to higher interest rates.

U.S. Treasury bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, posted negative total returns during the period. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield (which moves inversely to price) was at or near all-time lows prior to the reporting period. However, yields rose during the review period, as renewed strength in the economy prompted investors to increase their inflation expectations. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays MBS Index, had marginally negative total returns for the period despite Fed support, as lower interest rates accelerated prepayments from mortgage refinancing, which weighed on MBS returns.

Investment Strategy

The Fund targets securities with an estimated average portfolio duration of one year or less. The Fund invests predominantly in U.S. dollar denominated, investment-grade debt securities and investments. The Fund generally expects to invest a substantial portion of its assets in cash, cash equivalents and high-quality money market securities, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by non-U.S. governments or their respective agencies or instrumentalities, including mortgage-backed securities and inflation-indexed securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The Fund may also invest in mortgage dollar rolls, asset-backed securities and U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities.

The Fund may enter into certain interest rate-related derivatives to enhance Fund returns, increase liquidity, gain exposure to certain instruments or markets in a more efficient or less expensive way and/or hedge risks associated with its other portfolio investments.

Manager’s Discussion

While five-year and longer Treasury yields rose sharply, two-year and shorter Treasury rates remained stable during the period with the Fed Funds rate anchored at 0.00% to 0.25%. Short-term investment grade corporate bond spreads narrowed during the period as demand for higher yielding alternatives to government bonds remained strong. Corporate bonds were also aided by the Fed’s pledge to support the investment grade market particularly on the short end of the yield curve. Most high quality short-term fixed income sectors posted modestly positive returns for the period with spread sectors outperforming government sectors.

The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the review period. Our overweighted position in corporate credit was the biggest contributor to relative performance as tighter spreads and Fed support helped investment-grade credit outperform short-term Treasuries. Industry allocations that contributed to performance included an overweighting to banking, energy and capital goods. Positive contributors from individual positions included Boeing, Canadian Imperial Bank, and Bank of Montreal while detractors included Woodside Finance, Bank of NY Mellon and Textron. Duration positioning had minimal impact on relative performance.

While the ETF has the ability to invest in derivative securities, it held no derivatives during the period under review.

All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund’s focus on the credit quality of its portfolio is intended to reduce credit risk and help to preserve the Fund’s capital. The Fund is not a money market fund and does not seek to maintain a stable net value of $1.00 per share. Interest rate movements, unanticipated changes in mortgage prepayment rates and other risk factors will affect the Fund’s share price and yield. Bond prices, and thus a Fund’s share price, generally move in opposite direction of interest rates. Therefore, as the price of bonds in the Fund adjust to rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. By focusing its investments in financials related industries, the Fund carries much greater risks of adverse developments and price movements in such industries than a fund that invests in a wide variety of industries. Because the Fund concentrates in a specific industry or group of industries, there is also the risk that the Fund will perform poorly during a slump in demand for securities of companies and such industries. The Fund’s investment in foreign securities involve certain risks including currency fluctuations, and economic and political uncertainties. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. Investing in derivative securities involves special risks as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the Fund. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks total return. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds of U.S. issuers.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +2.23% based on market price and +2.07% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which tracks the U.S. investment-grade, taxable bond market, posted a +0.71% total return.¹ You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 18.

Economic and Market Overview

appetite for risk increased. Consequently, lower-rated bonds posted significantly greater returns than higher-rated bonds. In early 2021, however, the implementation of mass vaccination programs alongside improving economic indicators prompted investors to anticipate that increased inflation would lead to higher interest rates.

Fed action was a catalyst for the recovery in the corporate bond market, which advanced overall but varied significantly based on credit rating. The strengthening economy and prospect of a return to normal conditions tempered concerns about credit quality, which benefited lower-quality bonds. Consequently, high-yield corporate bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, posted a strong advance, outpacing investment-grade corporate bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index, which nevertheless posted solid returns.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests predominantly in investment-grade bonds of U.S. issuers, including government, corporate-debt, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed securities include securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its

agencies or instrumentalities, and private issuers, including commercial mortgage-backed securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund is generally expected to have sector, credit and duration exposures comparable to its benchmark index. However, we make investment decisions based upon our own fundamental analysis, which affects the Fund’s sector, credit and duration exposures so that they may vary from the benchmark index.

In addition, the Fund may purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities on a delayed delivery or forward commitment basis through the to-be-announced (TBA) market. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be delivered must meet specified terms and conditions.

For purposes of pursuing its investment goal, the Fund may enter into various interest-rate and credit-related derivatives, principally U.S. Treasury futures, interest-rate swaps and credit default swaps. The use of these derivative transactions may allow the Fund to obtain net long or short exposures to select interest rates, durations or credit risks. The Fund may enter into certain derivative transactions to seek to enhance Fund returns, increase liquidity, gain exposure to certain instruments or markets in a more efficient or less expensive way and/or hedge risks associated with its other portfolio investments.

In choosing investments, we select securities in various market sectors based on our assessment of changing economic, market, industry and issuer conditions. We use a top-down analysis of macroeconomic trends, combined with a bottom-up fundamental analysis of market sectors, industries and issuers, to try to take advantage of varying sector reactions to economic events. We may consider selling a security when we believe the security has become fully valued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the issuer’s fundamentals, or when we believe another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.

Manager’s Discussion

Over the period under review, the Fund outperformed its benchmark. The Fund’s sector allocations were the main drivers of outperformance over the Fund’s performance during the previous 12-month period. We maintained overweighted positioning in investment-grade (IG) corporate bonds, sovereign hard-currency emerging market (EM) debt and taxable and tax-exempt municipal (muni) securities, which all boosted returns throughout the year. Additionally, underweighted exposure to asset-backed securities (ABS) was accretive to relative performance. In contrast, with market value positioning lower than the benchmark, both commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and non-U.S. developed nations debt curbed returns. Security selection was also a strong source of outperformance, led by selection in IG corporate bonds, agency mortgage-backed securities, and non-U.S. developed nations debt. This was partially offset by selection in the sovereign EM, ABS, and taxable muni sectors, which hindered relative returns. Throughout the period, the duration of the portfolio was roughly in line with the underlying benchmark, but curve positioning detracted modestly from results.

The Fund utilized interest rate futures to manage the duration profile of the portfolio.

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance tables do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale or redemption of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (9/19/19), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Interest rate movements, unscheduled mortgage prepayments and other risk factors will affect the Fund’s share price and yield. Bond prices, and thus a Fund’s share price, generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Therefore, as the prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $ 7.50, then 8.6 x $ 7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Economic and Market Overview

U.S. equities, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index (S&P 500^®), advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2021. Equities rose throughout the reporting period amid the U.S. recovery from the initial shock of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related restrictions. Better understanding of safety standards that could reduce transmission led many states to partially reopen in April and May 2020, boosting equities. Several significant rounds of stimulus, including direct payments to individuals and programs designed to keep employees on payroll, also supported stock prices. In November 2020, the development of several vaccines bolstered investor confidence, and the implementation of mass vaccination programs in early 2021 led to further gains, as U.S. equities reached an all-time high in March 2021.

The U.S. economy was severely impacted by the pandemic, as business closures and restrictions on gatherings disrupted everyday life. As a result, second-quarter 2020 gross domestic product (GDP) experienced a record annualized decline, and mass layoffs drove the unemployment rate to a peak of 14.8% in April.² However, economic conditions improved rapidly thereafter, with GDP rebounding at a record annualized pace in 2020’s third quarter and expanding more slowly in the fourth quarter. Similarly, the unemployment rate declined notably, reaching 6.0% in March 2021 as jobless claims fell and employment openings began to increase.²

To support the U.S. economy, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the federal funds target rate at a record-low range of 0.00%–0.25%. The Fed also enacted quantitative easing measures aimed at ensuring credit flows to borrowers and supporting credit markets with open-ended bond purchasing. Furthermore, the Fed signaled that interest rates would potentially remain low, even if inflation moderately exceeded its 2% target.

These factors led investors to anticipate a surge in spending. Nonetheless, areas of economic weakness remained, including total employment numbers that stayed well below pre-pandemic levels, and inflation expectations that increased to the highest level in more than 10 years near period-end.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities (principally common stocks) of U.S. companies.³ The Fund seeks capital appreciation, while providing a lower level of volatility than the broader equity market as measured by the Russell 1000^®Index, meaning the Fund seeks returns that fluctuate less than the returns of the Russell 1000^® Index. We apply a fundamentally driven “bottom-up” research process to create a starting universe of eligible securities across a large number of sectors derived from the holdings of a number of Franklin Templeton equity funds. The investment manager screens that universe on a quarterly basis in order to identify those securities with the lowest realized volatility relative to their corresponding sectors, while also incorporating fundamental view of individual stocks. The Fund’s sector weightings generally are based on the current sector weightings within the Russell

1000^® Index. Individual securities in the Fund’s portfolio are generally weighted equally within each sector. The investment manager may, from time to time, make adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio as a result of corporate actions, changes to the volatility profile of the Fund’s holdings, or for risk management related purposes.

Manager’s Discussion

The Fund generated strong positive absolute returns but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Index, for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021. Stock selection in the information technology sector was the most significant detractor from relative performance largely due to an underweighting in Apple whose shares reached record highs over the period as pandemic lockdowns drove consumers to its products. In contrast, the sector benefited from investments in chipmakers Synopsys and Texas Instruments and in fiber-optic cable manufacturer Amphenol.

Although consumer discretionary was a relative detractor at the sector level, the Fund’s investments in Tractor Supply Company and Target boosted results. COVID-19 restrictions gave rise to e-commerce growth and homesteading trends, which benefited Tractor Supply’s business. Likewise, in the midst of the pandemic, Target saw strong momentum from a growing e-commerce customer base and demand for consumer products for the home.

Medical product companies Baxter International and Becton, Dickinson and Company underperformed in the health care sector. In the energy sector, low oil prices and refining margins along with a slowdown in energy demand were a drag on the shares of oil companies, including our holding in Royal Dutch Shell. Elsewhere, the pandemic introduced a new set of challenges for urban apartment property company Equity Residential as work-from-home mandates allowed city renters to relocate to cheaper parts of the country.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin Liberty U.S. Low Volatility ETF. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY U.S. LOW VOLATILITY ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance table does not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale or redemption of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (9/22/16), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

This annual report for Franklin Liberty U.S. Treasury Bond ETF covers the period since the Fund’s inception on June 9, 2020, through March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.

Performance Overview

For the period since inception on June 9, 2020, through March 31, 2021, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of -3.15% based on market price and -3.36% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, which measures the performance of U.S. Treasury bills, posted a -3.85% total return.¹ You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 31.

	% of Total Net Assets

Mortgage-Backed Securities		1.9%
Short-Term Investments & Other Net Assets		4.9%

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted negative total returns during the period since the Fund’s inception on June 9, 2020, through March 31, 2021. Prior to the review period, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused economic and social disruptions that significantly impacted U.S. bond markets. Throughout the review period, as the U.S. economy adapted to the presence of COVID-19,

investor appetite for risk increased. Consequently, lower-rated bonds posted significantly greater returns than higher-rated bonds. In early 2021, however, the implementation of mass vaccination programs alongside improving economic indicators prompted investors to anticipate that increased inflation would lead to higher interest rates.

U.S. Treasury bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, posted negative total returns during the period. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield (which moves inversely to price) was at or near all-time lows prior to the reporting period. However, yields rose during the review period, as renewed strength in the economy prompted investors to increase their inflation expectations. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays MBS Index, had marginally negative total returns for the period despite Fed support, as lower interest rates accelerated prepayments from mortgage refinancing, which weighed on MBS returns.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including Treasury bonds, bills and notes and investments that provide exposure to direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The Fund may also invest in

securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, including government sponsored entities and mortgage-backed securities (MBS).

In addition, the Fund may purchase or sell MBS on a delayed delivery or forward commitment basis through the to-be-announced (TBA) market. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be delivered must meet specified terms and conditions.

To pursue its investment goal, the Fund may enter into certain interest rate-related derivative transactions, principally interest rate/bond futures contracts and interest rate swaps. The use of these derivative transactions may allow the Fund to obtain net long or short exposures to select interest rates or durations. These derivatives may be used to enhance Fund returns, increase liquidity, gain exposure to certain instruments or markets in a more efficient or less expensive way and/or hedge risks associated with its other portfolio investments.

In choosing investments, we select securities in various market sectors based on our assessment of changing economic, market, industry and issuer conditions. We use a top-down analysis of macroeconomic trends, combined with a bottom-up fundamental analysis of market sectors, industries and issuers, to try to take advantage of varying sector reactions to economic events. We may consider selling a security when we believe the security has become fully valued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the issuer’s fundamentals, or when we believe another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.

Manager’s Discussion

During the period since the Fund’s inception on June 9, 2020, through March 31, 2021, the Fund posted a negative return, although outperforming the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index.

Our non-benchmark allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities as well as security selection within the fixed-rate agency mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector were the primary contributors to relative performance. Conversely, our allocation to MBS hindered results. Our overall duration positioning contributed to relative returns over the period, mainly from the 10-year duration portion of the curve.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin Templeton ETF Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of forty-five separate funds, five of which are included in this report (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Each of the Funds are an exchange traded fund (ETF) and are actively managed, thus they are not designed to track an index. The Trust began offering shares of the Franklin Liberty U.S. Treasury Bond ETF Fund commenced operations on June 9, 2020 & the Franklin Liberty Ultra Short Bond ETF Fund commenced operations on July 14, 2020.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Equity securities and exchange traded funds listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of 4 p.m. Eastern time. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. London time on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most

representative market. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities.

Debt securities generally trade in the over-the-counter (OTC) market rather than on a securities exchange. The Funds’ pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

futures contracts and exchange traded funds). These price movements are measured against established trigger thresholds for each specific market proxy to assist in determining if an event has occurred that may call into question the reliability of the values of the foreign securities held by the Funds. If such an event occurs, the securities may be valued using fair value procedures, which may include the use of independent pricing services.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through a formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. Certain or all Funds attempt to reduce their exposure to counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives, whenever possible, by entering into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with certain counterparties. These agreements contain various provisions, including but not limited to collateral requirements, events of default, or early termination.

Termination events applicable to the counterparty include certain deteriorations in the credit quality of the counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Funds include failure of the Funds to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Funds of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement.



68	Annual Report	franklintempleton.com

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Funds entered into credit default swap contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to credit risk. A credit default swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty whereby the buyer of the contract receives credit protection and the seller of the contract guarantees the credit worthiness of a referenced debt obligation. These agreements may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (OTC credit default swaps) or may be executed in a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (centrally cleared credit default swaps). The underlying referenced debt obligation may be a single issuer of corporate or sovereign debt, a credit index, a basket of issuers or indices, or a tranche of a credit index or basket of issuers or indices. In the event of a default of the underlying referenced debt obligation, the buyer is entitled to receive the notional amount of the credit default swap contract from the seller in exchange for the referenced debt obligation, a net settlement amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the referenced debt obligation, or other agreed upon amount. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable. Over the term of the contract, the buyer pays the seller a periodic stream of payments, provided that no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Upfront payments and receipts are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent compensating factors between stated terms of the credit default swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads and other relevant factors). These upfront payments and receipts are amortized over the term of the contract as a realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.

and/or received by the Fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the Fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Funds’ investment objectives. To the extent that the amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not subject to collateralization or are not fully collateralized, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

See Note 8 regarding other derivative information.

d. Income and Deferred Taxes

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxation related to income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Funds invest. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, certain or all Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

e. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from securities where the dividend rate is not available. In such cases, the dividend is recorded as soon as the information is received by the Funds. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable earnings are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis) and may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

f. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

g. Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

Shares of the Funds are issued and redeemed at their respective NAV only in aggregations of a specific number of shares or multiples thereof (Creation Units). Only certain large institutional investors (Authorized Participants) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Funds. Once created, shares of the Funds generally trade in the secondary market in amounts less than one Creation Unit. The market price of the Funds’ shares will be based on the price in the secondary market which may be at, above or below the most recent NAV. Creation Units may be issued and redeemed in exchange for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (which may include cash in lieu of certain securities).

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The ASU is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORT

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. economy was severely impacted by the pandemic, as business closures and restrictions on gatherings disrupted everyday life. As a result, second-quarter 2020 gross domestic product (GDP) experienced a record annualized decline, and mass layoffs drove the unemployment rate to a peak of 14.8% in April.¹ However, economic conditions improved rapidly thereafter, with GDP rebounding at a record annualized pace in 2020’s third quarter and expanding more slowly in the fourth quarter. Similarly, the unemployment rate declined notably, reaching 6.0% in March 2021 as jobless claims fell and employment openings began to increase.¹

The combination of large stimulus payments, increasing asset prices and rising savings during lockdowns led to the strengthening of household balance sheets, as wealth levels rose and credit card debt declined in 2020’s fourth quarter. These factors led investors to anticipate a surge in spending. Nonetheless, areas of economic weakness remained, including total employment numbers that stayed well below pre-pandemic levels, and inflation expectations that increased to the highest level in more than 10 years near period-end.

Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Equity ETF

This annual report for Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Equity ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ U.S. Large Cap Equity Index (the Underlying Index).^{1 Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index seeks to achieve a lower level of risk and higher risk-adjusted performance than the Russell 1000® Index over the long term by applying a
multi-factor selection process, which is designed to select equity securities from the Russell 1000® Index that have favorable exposure to four investment style factors: quality, value, momentum and low volatility.}

Performance Overview

For the 12 months under review, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +48.29% based on market price and +48.22% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the LibertyQ U.S. Large Cap Equity Index posted a +48.42% total return for the same period, while the Russell 1000^® Index posted a +60.59% total return.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 5.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a passive or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ U.S. Large Cap Equity Index. The investment manager seeks to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. The Fund’s portfolio is reconstituted semiannually following the semiannual reconstitution of the Underlying Index.

Manager’s Discussion

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, individual holdings that lifted the Fund’s absolute return included Applied Materials, Lam Research and Apple. Individual holdings that hindered the Fund’s absolute return included Biogen, Raytheon and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

The Fund’s research-based selection process focuses on four investment factors: value, quality, momentum and low volatility. Of the four target-style factors, low volatility significantly detracted from the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period, while the quality factor also detracted. In contrast, the value and momentum factors modestly

contributed to the Fund’s relative return. The Fund’s net long position in the S&P 500 Index, through the use of futures contracts, also contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance, as stocks rose during the period.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Equity ETF. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN LIBERTYQ U.S. EQUITY ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (4/28/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF

This annual report for Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the LibertyQ U.S. Mid Cap Equity Index (the Underlying Index).¹Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index seeks to achieve a lower level of risk and higher risk-adjusted performance than the Russell Midcap^® Index over the long term by applying a multi-factor selection process, which is designed to select equity securities from the Russell Midcap^® Index that have favorable exposure to four investment style factors: quality, value, momentum and low volatility.

Performance Overview

For the 12 months under review, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +66.27% based on market price and +65.69% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the LibertyQ U.S. Mid Cap Equity Index posted a +66.21% total return for the same period, while the Russell Midcap^® Index posted a +73.64% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 11.

The investment manager seeks to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. The Fund’s portfolio is reconstituted semiannually following the semiannual reconstitution of the Underlying Index.

FRANKLIN LIBERTYQ U.S. MID CAP EQUITY ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (4/28/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 x $7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin Templeton ETF Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of forty-five separate funds, three of which are included in this report (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Each of the Funds are an exchange traded fund (ETF) and seek to provide the investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of each Fund’s corresponding underlying index.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Equity securities listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV.

Certain derivative financial instruments are centrally cleared or trade in the OTC market. The Funds’ pricing services use various techniques including industry standard option pricing

models and proprietary discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of those instruments. The Funds’ net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair value of the contract, is included in net assets.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

a. Financial Instrument Valuation (continued)

the last business day and the last calendar day of the reporting period. Any significant security valuation changes due to an open foreign market are adjusted and reflected by the Funds for financial reporting purposes.

b. Derivative Financial Instruments

Termination events applicable to the Funds include failure of the Funds to maintain certain net asset levels and/or limit the decline in net assets over various periods of time. In the event of default or early termination, the ISDA master agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to net and close-out all transactions traded, whether or not arising under the ISDA agreement, to one net amount payable by one counterparty to the other. However, absent an event of default or early termination, OTC derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statements of

Assets and Liabilities. Early termination by the counterparty may result in an immediate payment by the Funds of any net liability owed to that counterparty under the ISDA agreement.

See Note 7 regarding other derivative information.

c. Securities Lending



50	Annual Report	franklintempleton.com

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc., an affiliate of the Funds. The Fund may receive income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. Income from securities loaned, net of fees paid to the securities lending agent and/or third-party vendor, is reported separately in the Statements of Operations. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral received. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

d. Income Taxes

e. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable earnings are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis) and may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among

capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

f. Accounting Estimates

g. Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest (continued)

Authorized participants pay a standard transaction fee to the shareholder servicing agent when purchasing or redeeming Creation Units of the Funds regardless of the number of Creation Units that are being created or redeemed on the same day by the Authorized Participant.

ANNUAL REPORT

Municipal Bond Market Overview

During the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a severe economic impact across the globe and in the U.S. As whole states enacted strong social distancing protocols (including, in some cases, stay-at-home orders), there were record numbers of jobs lost and a strong contraction of gross domestic product (GDP) in both the first and second quarters of 2020.

After seeing large disruptions in March 2020, fixed income market sectors—including municipal (muni) bonds—began the slow process of recovery following swift policy responses from both monetary and fiscal authorities. The U.S. Federal Reserve set up a number of new emergency facilities to restore investor confidence in the market. Included in these measures were programs to purchase muni bonds in the secondary market and to provide direct loans to muni bond issuers. Although these programs were ultimately thinly subscribed, they provided a backstop to the muni bond market. The U.S. federal government also undertook a number of fiscal spending packages in 2020—$2.9 trillion in April and an additional $900 billion in December—to provide much-needed resources to individuals and businesses in an attempt to provide bridge funding and lessen the potential for scarring in the overall economy.

Through the summer of 2020, infection rates fell across the U.S., allowing some states to begin the process of reopening parts of their economies. However, starting in the fall, new cases and hospitalizations increased to all-time highs as the virus spread to areas in the U.S. that had not seen large numbers of infections, causing some states to slow or abandon their reopening plans. This was tempered by the emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines from multiple pharmaceutical manufacturers by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2020 with plans to provide mass inoculations in the first half of 2021. As the vaccination program progressed during the first quarter of 2021, case rates and hospitalizations dropped significantly, allowing the resumption of the reopening process including a return to in-person schooling.

Valuations in the muni bond market improved starting in April 2020 due to strong technical conditions. After seeing record outflows in March and April of 2020, funds flowed back into muni bond retail vehicles, creating significant demand for bonds. These flows outstripped new issuance of tax-exempt bonds as many issuers turned to the taxable muni bond market for refundings and new issuance. Ratios of muni bond

yields versus duration-matched U.S. Treasuries (USTs) improved from their all-time highs seen in March 2020 throughout the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. Although these ratios moved higher in February 2021 as UST yields rose sharply, they more than recovered in March 2021, moving to all-time bests by the end of the month. Starting in February 2021, UST yields rose sharply, which put pressure on muni bond absolute returns given the longer-duration profile of the sector.

State and local muni bond issuers projected severe budget deficits for 2020 and going forward as they anticipated tax receipts and usage fees falling and outlays for social programs such as health care and unemployment benefits strongly rising. By the end of 2020, many of these deficit projection fears were unfounded as consumer spending recovered more quickly than anticipated, leading to higher sales tax collections. A strong U.S. housing market also provided additional support. In March 2021, the U.S. federal government passed a $1.9 trillion additional fiscal spending bill, providing large one-time cash payments to individuals and continuation of enhanced unemployment benefits. Included in this package was $350 billion worth of grants to state and local governments intended to further support budgets and improve the credit profile of the muni sector as a whole.

The Investment Company Institute (ICI) reported net inflows of approximately $5 billion into muni bond retail vehicles in March 2021. For the 12-month period, muni bond retail vehicles had approximately $85 billion of net inflows, according to the ICI.

For the 12-month period, U.S. fixed income sectors broadly underperformed relative to equities, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index, which posted a +56.35% total return for the period.¹Investment-grade muni bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, posted a +5.51% total return, while USTs, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, posted a -4.43% total return, and investment-grade corporate bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index, posted a +8.73% total return.¹

Franklin Liberty Federal Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Opportunities ETF

Formerly, Franklin Liberty Intermediate Municipal Opportunities ETF

This annual report for Franklin Liberty Federal Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Opportunities ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, including the federal alternative minimum tax, by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest free from such taxes.¹ The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (the time in which the debt must be repaid) of three to 10 years, and may invest in municipal securities in any rating category by U.S. nationally recognized rating services (or comparable unrated or short-term rated securities).


Credit Quality Composition*

3/31/2021

Ratings	% of Total Investments
AAA		3.11%
AA		14.50%
A		14.49%
BBB		25.28%
BB		18.90%
B		21.39%
CCC		0.41%
C		0.81%
D		1.10%

*Ratings shown are assigned by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO), such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. When ratings from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the portfolio investment process. Ratings reflect an NRSRO’s opinion of an issuer’s creditworthiness and typically range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). The Refunded category consists of refunded bonds secured by U.S. government or other high quality securities. The Not Rated category consists of ratable securities that have not been rated by an NRSRO. The Not Applicable category consists of third-party ETFs and securities that only have a short-term rating and are not cash equivalents. Cash includes equivalents, which may be rated.

Performance Overview

For the 12 months under review, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +8.93% based on market price and +8.84%

based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal 1-15 Year Index posted a +4.92% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 5.

Investment Strategy

We select securities that we believe will provide the best balance between risk and return within the Fund’s range of allowable investments and we typically use a buy-and-hold strategy. This means we generally hold securities in the Fund’s portfolio for income purposes, rather than trading securities for capital gains, although we may sell a security at any time if we believe it could help the Fund meet its goal. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

franklintempleton.com	Annual Report	3

FRANKLIN LIBERTY FEDERAL INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND OPPORTUNITIES ETF

Manager’s Discussion

During the reporting period, we continued to find value in securities in the eight- to 15-year maturity range. Given the Fund’s average maturity cannot exceed 10 years, this represented the longer end of our target universe. The municipal yield curve remains positively sloped, and we believe focusing on longer maturities provides us with the best opportunities to achieve our objective of maximizing after-tax income for investors. Over the period, we maintained a portion of the portfolio in cash that has allowed us to take advantage of relative value opportunities that have been created by increased volatility in the market. This cash position, however, detracted from performance over the period.

The Fund’s overweight to securities with BBB and lower ratings relative to the benchmark curbed results over the past year. Since the COVID-19 crisis, the recovery of lower-rated bonds has lagged higher-rated issues, but over the most recent quarter they have shown significant improvement in valuations. Additionally, our focus on revenue-related bonds versus general obligation issues, when compared to the benchmark, hurt returns due to the uneven recovery of many sectors including education and special tax. In contrast, our selection of securities across sectors provided strong returns lifting overall performance above the Fund’s reference index.

Given the Fund’s mandate, we will continue to look for opportunities to add high-yielding securities with a focus on the seven- to 15-year portion of the yield curve. The Fund does not use leverage or derivatives. We believe our consistent, disciplined strategy can help our investors achieve high, tax-free income over the long term. As general interest rates rise, our turnover will typically increase as opportunities to purchase securities that have the potential to increase income in the portfolio become available.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin Liberty Federal Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Opportunities ETF. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY FEDERAL INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND OPPORTUNITIES ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance tables and graph do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (9/5/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Because municipal bonds are sensitive to interest-rate movements, the Fund’s yield and share price will fluctuate with market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. The Fund may invest in lower-rated bonds which include higher risk of default and loss of principal. Puerto Rico municipal bonds have been impacted by recent adverse economic and market changes, which may cause the Fund’s share price to decline. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond’s issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond’s value. The Fund may invest a significant part of its assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects, such as utilities, hospitals, higher education and transportation. A change that affects one project would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

2. Total return calculations represent the cumulative and average annual changes in value of an investment over the periods indicated. Return for less than one year, if any, has not been annualized.

3. Assumes reinvestment of distributions based on net asset value.

4. Assumes reinvestment of distributions based on market price.

5. Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the March dividend and the NAV per share on 3/31/21.

7. Taxable equivalent yield assumes the 2021 maximum federal income tax rate of 37.00% plus 3.80% Medicare tax.

8. Source: Morningstar. Bloomberg Barclays 1-15 Year Municipal Index measures the performance of municipal bonds with maturities from one to 17 years.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 × $7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

This annual report for Franklin Liberty Federal Tax-Free Bond ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, including the federal alternative minimum tax, by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest free from such taxes.¹ The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity (the time in which the debt must be repaid) of five to 15 years, and only buys securities rated, at the time of purchase, in one of the top four ratings categories by one or more U.S. nationally recognized rating services (or comparable unrated or short-term rated securities).

Performance Overview

For the 12 months under review, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +4.87% based on market price and +5.16% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index posted a +5.51%

total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 11.

Investment Strategy

We select securities that we believe will provide the best balance between risk and return within the Fund’s range of allowable investments and we typically use a buy-and-hold strategy. This means it generally holds securities in the Fund’s portfolio for income purposes, rather than trading securities for capital gains, although we may sell a security at any time if we believe it could help the Fund meet its goal. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

Manager’s Discussion

During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund maintained its average maturity near 12 years, on the longer end of the target 5- to 15-year range, but similar to that of the benchmark index. Our focus on bonds with longer-maturity profiles contributed to performance over the period as municipal bond valuations improved following the severe market disruptions in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. The municipal yield curve remains positively sloped and we believe focusing on longer maturities within that range provides us with the best opportunities to maximize both after-tax income and total return potential. The Fund is highly diversified across multiple metrics, including by individual issuer, sector, state, term structure and coupon rate. As market volatility moved higher, we were able to add positions that we felt provided strong risk/reward returns in some of the more challenged areas of the market. Some examples included sectors and issuers where the investing public appeared tentative but the prospects for improving prices looked constructive due to government support, essential function, and/or a lack of understanding of the underlying security. At period-end, the Fund had grown to $126 million in total assets, which we believe provides exciting momentum for continued asset growth moving forward.

Security selection was a key contributor to the Fund’s performance. Due to continuing cash flows from maturing securities and new investors, our cash position was larger than the benchmark, which allowed us to remain agile and take advantage of pockets of value in the market. This cash allocation detracted from performance as municipal bonds rallied throughout the year. We will continue to look for opportunities to add high-quality names at attractive prices with a focus on all parts of the yield curve, while striving to maintain a portfolio average maturity of close to 13 years. The Fund does not use leverage or derivatives. We believe our consistent, disciplined strategy can help our investors achieve high, tax-free income over the long term.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin Liberty Federal Tax-Free Bond ETF. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY FEDERAL TAX-FREE BOND ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance tables and graph do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (9/5/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Because municipal bonds are sensitive to interest-rate movements, the Fund’s yield and share price will fluctuate with market conditions. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Puerto Rico municipal bonds have been impacted by recent adverse economic and market changes, which may cause the Fund’s share price to decline. Changes in the credit rating of a bond, or in the credit rating or financial strength of a bond’s issuer, insurer or guarantor, may affect the bond’s value. The Fund may invest a significant part of its assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects, such as utilities, hospitals, higher education and transportation. A change that affects one project would likely affect all similar projects, thereby increasing market risk. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

2. Total return calculations represent the cumulative and average annual changes in value of an investment over the periods indicated. Return for less than one year, if any, has not been annualized.

3. Assumes reinvestment of distributions based on net asset value.

4. Assumes reinvestment of distributions based on market price.

5. Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the March dividend and the NAV per share on 3/31/21.

7. Taxable equivalent yield assumes the 2021 maximum federal income tax rate of 37.00% plus 3.80% Medicare tax.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Effective 09/14/2020, the following name changes occurred:

Old name

*	Franklin Liberty Intermediate Municipal Opportunities ETF

*	Franklin Liberty Municipal Bond ETF

New name

*	Franklin Liberty Federal Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Opportunities ETF

*	Franklin Liberty Federal Tax-Free Bond ETF

The following summarizes the Fund’s significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, anticipated market interest rate volatility, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value.

b. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

Certain or all Funds purchase securities on a when-issued basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of holding the securities, they may sell the securities before the settlement date. Sufficient assets have been segregated for these securities.

c. Income Taxes

Each Fund may recognize an income tax liability related to its uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP when the uncertain tax position has a less than 50% probability that it will be

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on its technical merits. As of March 31, 2021, each Fund has determined that no tax liability is required in its financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for any open tax years (or expected to be taken in future tax years). Open tax years are those that remain subject to examination and are based on the statute of limitations in each jurisdiction in which the Fund invests.

d. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable earnings are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis) and may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

e. Insurance

The scheduled payments of interest and principal for each insured municipal security in the Trust are insured by either a new issue insurance policy or a secondary insurance policy. Some municipal securities in the Funds are secured by collateral guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Depending on the type of coverage, premiums for insurance are either added the cost basis of the security or paid by a third party.

Insurance companies typically insure municipal bonds that tend to be of very high quality, with the majority of underlying municipal bonds rated A or better. However, an event involving an insurer could have an adverse effect on the

value of the securities insured by that insurance company. There can be no assurance the insurer will be able to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the policy.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7. Credit Risk and Defaulted Securities (continued)

The Fund may purchase the pre-default or defaulted debt of distressed companies. Distressed companies are financially troubled and could be or are already involved in financial restructuring or bankruptcy. Risks associated with purchasing these securities include the possibility that the bankruptcy or other restructuring process takes longer than expected, or that distributions in restructuring are less than anticipated, either or both of which may result in unfavorable consequences to the Fund. If it becomes probable that the income on debt securities, including those distressed companies, will not be collected, the Fund discontinues accruing income and recognizes an adjustment for uncollectible interest. At March 31, 2021, the aggregate long value of distressed company securities for which interest recognition has been discontinued representing 1.02% of the Fund’s net assets. For information as to specific securities, see the accompanying Statement of Investments.

8. Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of financial instruments)

The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level.

At March 31, 2021, all of the Fund’s investments in financial instruments carried at fair value were valued using Level 2 inputs.

9. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)–Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The ASU is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

10. Subsequent Events

The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

ANNUAL REPORT

Economic and Market Overview

Global developed and emerging market equities, as measured by the FTSE All-World Index, advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2021. Following sharp declines in early 2020 amid the onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, global equities began to rebound in the spring amid monetary and fiscal stimulus measures, easing lockdown restrictions, and vaccine and treatment development. Stocks declined again in September and October, due to geopolitical tensions and rising infection rates, but began to rebound in November as successful trials of COVID-19 vaccines, the start of vaccination programs and expectations for additional fiscal stimulus led many equity markets to reach new highs. Indications of economic recovery in many countries also helped drive stocks higher.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the federal funds target rate at a record-low range of 0.00%–0.25% and continued its program of open-ended bond purchases to help keep

markets functioning. Furthermore, the Fed reiterated that interest rates would potentially remain low, even if inflation moderately exceeded the Fed’s 2% target.

Asian developed and emerging market equities, as measured by the FTSE Asia Pacific Index, advanced sharply for the period. China, a key driver of regional economies, began to recover in the second quarter of 2020 and was the only major global economy to post positive GDP growth for full-year 2020 amid strong manufacturing gains. Despite paring gains in March 2021, Asian equity markets finished the period sharply higher amid optimism that economic revitalization would be further spurred by COVID-19 vaccines.

Global emerging market stocks, as measured by the FTSE Emerging Index, also rose significantly for the period. Improving economic activity, stabilizing oil prices and U.S. dollar weakness supported emerging market equities. Despite higher COVID-19 cases in some countries, emerging market stocks rallied amid easing political uncertainty, commencement of COVID-19 vaccinations and rising commodity prices.

Franklin FTSE Asia ex Japan ETF

This annual report for Franklin FTSE Asia ex Japan ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Asia ex Japan RIC Capped Index (the FTSE Asia ex Japan Capped Index or the Underlying Index).¹ Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE Asia ex Japan Capped Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +60.54% based on market price and +58.16% based on net asset value. In comparison, the FTSE Asia ex Japan Capped Index posted a +59.00% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 5.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Asia ex Japan Capped Index. We seek to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. Our intention is to

replicate the component securities of the Underlying Index as closely as possible (i.e., invest in all of the component securities in their respective weightings in the Underlying Index). However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the Underlying Index. In these circumstances, we may use a “representative sampling” strategy whereby we would invest in what we believe to be a representative sample of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track the Underlying Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire Underlying Index. Under the representative sampling technique, we will select securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the Underlying Index, including securities that resemble those included in the Underlying Index in terms of risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization and industry weightings. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated.

FRANKLIN FTSE ASIA EX JAPAN ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (2/9/18), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

FRANKLIN FTSE CANADA ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (11/6/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Franklin FTSE Europe Hedged ETF

This annual report for Franklin FTSE Europe Hedged ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe RIC Capped Hedged to USD Index (the FTSE Developed Europe Capped Hedged Index or the Underlying Index).¹ Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE Developed Europe Capped Hedged Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities, including indirectly through Franklin FTSE Europe ETF (Underlying Fund).

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +39.21% based on market price and +36.92% based on net asset value. In comparison, the FTSE Developed Europe Capped Hedged Index posted a +36.76% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 41.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe Capped Hedged Index. We seek to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better.

In these circumstances, we may use a “representative sampling” strategy whereby we would invest in what we believe to be a representative sample of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track the Underlying Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire Underlying Index. Under the representative sampling technique, we will select securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the Underlying Index, including securities that resemble those included in the Underlying Index in terms of risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization and industry weightings. We intend to enter into monthly foreign currency forward contracts and/or currency futures contracts designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to the component currencies, in order to replicate the hedge impact incorporated in the calculation of the Underlying Index. The Fund’s exposure to foreign currency forward contracts and currency futures contracts is based on the aggregate exposure of the Fund to the component currencies. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated.

The Fund’s use of currency forward contracts—designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to the component currencies and to replicate the hedge impact incorporated in the calculation of the Underlying Index—also detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance.

FRANKLIN FTSE EUROPE HEDGED ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (11/6/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

FRANKLIN FTSE INDIA ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (2/9/18), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +42.24% based on market price and +40.23% based on net asset value. In comparison, the FTSE Japan Capped Index posted a +40.06% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 77.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Japan Capped Index. We seek to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. Our intention is to replicate the component securities of the Underlying

Index as closely as possible (i.e., invest in all of the component securities in their respective weightings in the Underlying Index). However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the Underlying Index. In these circumstances, we may use a “representative sampling” strategy whereby we would invest in what we believe to be a representative sample of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track the Underlying Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire Underlying Index. Under the representative sampling technique, we will select securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the Underlying Index, including securities that resemble those included in the Underlying Index in terms of risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization and industry weightings. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated.

Manager’s Discussion

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s absolute performance were industrials, consumer discretionary and information technology. Individual holdings that lifted the Fund’s absolute return included Softbank Group, Sony and Toyota Motor. The Fund’s use of currency forward contracts—designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to the Japanese yen and to replicate the hedge impact incorporated in the calculation of the Underlying Index—also contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance. However, one cannot expect the same result in future periods.

For the same period, no sectors posted negative returns. Individual holdings that hindered the Fund’s absolute return included KAO, Central Japan Railway and East Japan Railway.

Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (11/6/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns.

Franklin FTSE Latin America ETF

This annual report for Franklin FTSE Latin America ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Latin America RIC Capped Index (the FTSE Latin America Capped Index or the Underlying Index).¹ Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE Latin America Capped Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +50.71% based on market price and +50.80% based on net asset value. In comparison, the FTSE Latin America Capped Index posted a +51.03% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 89.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Latin America Capped Index. We seek to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. Our

intention is to replicate the component securities of the Underlying Index as closely as possible (i.e., invest in all of the component securities in their respective weightings in the Underlying Index). However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the Underlying Index. In these circumstances, we may use a “representative sampling” strategy whereby we would invest in what we believe to be a representative sample of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track the Underlying Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire Underlying Index. Under the representative sampling technique, we will select securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the Underlying Index, including securities that resemble those included in the Underlying Index in terms of risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization and industry weightings. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated.

FRANKLIN FTSE LATIN AMERICA ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (10/11/18), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

FRANKLIN FTSE SOUTH AFRICA ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (10/11/18), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (11/6/17), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Franklin FTSE United Kingdom ETF

This annual report for Franklin FTSE United Kingdom ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE UK RIC Capped Index (the FTSE UK Capped Index or the Underlying Index).¹ Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE UK Capped Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities.

Performance Overview

For the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +38.64% based on market price and +36.19% based on net asset value. In comparison, the FTSE UK Capped Index posted a +36.20% total return for the same period.² You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 137.

Investment Strategy

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE UK Capped Index. We seek to achieve, over time, a correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Underlying Index of 0.95 or better. A figure of 1.00 would indicate perfect correlation. Our intention is to replicate

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin Templeton ETF Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of forty-five separate funds, twenty-three of which are included in this report (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Each of the Funds are an exchange traded fund (ETF) and seek to provide the investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of each Fund’s corresponding underlying index.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Equity securities and derivative financial instruments listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of 4 p.m. Eastern time. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. London time on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities.

When the last day of the reporting period is a non-business day, certain foreign markets may be open on those days that

Generally, collateral is determined at the close of Fund business each day and any additional collateral required due to changes in derivative values may be delivered by the Fund or the counterparty the next business day, or within a few business days. Collateral pledged and/or received by the Fund, if any, is held in segregated accounts with the Fund’s custodian/counterparty broker and can be in the form of cash and/or securities. Unrestricted cash may be invested according to the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Fund may receive income from the investment of cash collateral, in addition to lending fees and rebates paid by the borrower. Income from securities loaned, net of fees paid to the securities lending agent and/or third-party vendor, is reported separately in the Statements of Operations. The Fund bears the market risk with respect to the collateral investment, securities loaned, and the risk that the agent may default on its obligations to the Fund. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral received. The securities lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the event of default by a third party borrower.

6. Concentration of Risk

The United States and other nations have imposed and could impose additional sanctions on certain issuers in Russia due to regional conflicts. These sanctions could result in the devaluation of Russia’s currency, a downgrade in Russian issuers’ credit ratings, or a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian stocks or other securities. Such sanctions could also adversely affect Russia’s economy. Certain or all Funds may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such sanctions. In addition, if the Fund holds the securities of an issuer that is subject to such sanctions, an immediate freeze of that issuer’s securities could result, impairing the ability of the Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. There is also the risk that countermeasures could be taken by Russia’s government, which could involve the seizure of the Fund’s assets. These risks could affect the value of the Funds’ portfolio. While the Funds hold securities of certain issuers recently impacted by the sanctions, existing investments do not presently violate the applicable terms and conditions of the sanctions. The sanctions currently do not affect the Funds’ ability to sell these securities. At March 31, 2021, Franklin FTSE Russia ETF had 100.1% of its net assets invested in Russia. The remaining Funds in the Trust did not have significant investment in Russia.

Basis for Opinions

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

At March 31, 2020, more than 50% of the Funds’ total assets were invested in securities of foreign issuers. In most instances, foreign taxes were withheld from income paid to the Funds on these investments. As shown in the table below, the Funds hereby report to shareholders the foreign source income and foreign taxes paid, pursuant to Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code. This written statement will allow shareholders of record on December 15, 2020, to treat their proportionate share of foreign taxes paid by the Funds as having been paid directly by them. The shareholder shall consider these amounts as foreign taxes paid in the tax year in which they receive the Fund distribution.

The following table provides a detailed analysis of foreign tax paid, foreign source income, and foreign source qualified dividends as reported by the Funds to shareholders of record.



Fund	Foreign Tax Paid Per Share		Foreign Source Income Per Share		Foreign Source Qualified Dividends Per Share
Franklin FTSE Russia ETF	$	0.3392	$	3.2720	$	3.0664
Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF	$	0.0442	$	0.2599	$	0.2599

Foreign Tax Paid Per Share is the amount per share available to you, as a tax credit (assuming you held your shares in the Fund for a minimum of 16 days during the 31-day period beginning 15 days before the ex-dividend date of the Fund’s distribution to which the foreign taxes relate), or, as a tax deduction.

Foreign Source Income Per Share is the amount per share of income dividends attributable to foreign securities held by the Fund, plus any foreign taxes withheld on these dividends. The amounts reported include foreign source qualified dividends that have not been adjusted for the rate differential applicable to such dividend income.¹

Foreign Source Qualified Dividends Per Share is the amount per share of foreign source qualified dividends plus any foreign taxes withheld on these dividends. These amounts represent the portion of the Foreign Source Income Per Share that were derived from qualified foreign securities held by the Fund.¹

At the beginning of each calendar year, shareholders will receive Form 1099-DIV which will include their share of taxes paid during the prior calendar year. Shareholders are advised to check with their tax advisors for information on the treatment of these amounts on their income tax returns.

1 Qualified dividends are taxed at reduced long term capital gains tax rates. In determining the amount of foreign tax credit that may be applied against the U.S. tax liability of individuals receiving foreign source qualified dividends, adjustments may be required to the foreign tax credit limitation calculation to reflect the rate differential applicable to such dividend income. The rules however permit certain individuals to elect not to apply the rate differential adjustments for capital gains and/or dividends for any taxable year. Please consult your tax advisor and the instructions to Form 1116 for more information.

ANNUAL REPORT

Economic and Market Overview

The U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted modestly negative total returns during the six months ended March 31, 2021, as continued economic recovery and additional government stimulus led to higher yields (which move inversely to prices) for most bonds. As the period began, investors continued to adjust to the disruption caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Before the period, investor flight to perceived safety had driven the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to near record lows. During the period, however, the implementation of mass vaccination programs alongside improving economic indicators prompted investors to anticipate that increased inflation would lead to higher interest rates.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained the federal funds target rate at a range of 0.00%–0.25% and continued its program of open-ended purchasing of government-backed and corporate bonds as necessary to provide liquidity to bond markets. Furthermore, the Fed reiterated that interest rates would potentially remain low, even if inflation moderately exceeded the Fed’s 2% target for some time.

U.S. Treasury bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index, posted negative total returns for the period. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from near-record lows at the beginning of the reporting period amid a significant U.S. federal budget deficit and high levels of issuance. The Fed’s inflation policy also pressured Treasuries, as renewed economic strength prompted investors to increase their inflation expectations. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays MBS Index, posted marginally negative total returns for the period despite Fed support, as low interest rates led to accelerated prepayments from mortgage refinancing.

U.S. corporate bond performance varied significantly based on credit rating, reflecting the recovery of credit markets following the onset of the pandemic. While the strengthening economy pressured corporate bonds generally, it also had the effect of tempering concerns about credit quality, which benefited lower-quality bonds. Consequently, high-yield corporate bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, posted a solid advance, while investment-grade corporate bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index, were down slightly.

At the start of the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021, the U.S. government announced three economic relief packages, which increased total funding since the COVID-19

outbreak to around US$3 trillion. In a similar move, the European Commission unveiled a new €750 billion recovery package, including the issuance of new bonds. Data released in July 2020 showed that U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) had its most significant single-quarter contraction on record in the second quarter of 2020. Although eurozone macroeconomic data released towards the end of July 2020 was encouraging and August 2020 saw further signs of recovery, the region entered a period of deflation for the first time in four years. In September 2020, despite an upward revision of its projection for 2020 GDP growth, the Fed highlighted the need for the U.S. Congress to agree on additional fiscal stimulus. With third-quarter estimates for U.S. GDP also revised upward, the Fed subsequently left its policy unchanged for the remainder of 2020, but reiterated concerns about increasing COVID-19 infection rates. Third-quarter 2020 GDP figures for the eurozone released in October 2020 were also strong, but many investors feared that a double-dip recession awaited the region; this would be confirmed early in 2021. In November 2020, a month that began with Joe Biden’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, sentiment was buoyed by successful vaccine trials. In contrast, fresh lockdown measures across much of the eurozone weighed on business activity, leading the European Central Bank (ECB) in December 2020 to announce an expanded asset purchase program. However, sentiment in Europe was boosted at the end of the month when an eleventh-hour Brexit deal was finally struck.

As in December 2020, the Fed took no further action at its first meeting in 2021 but acknowledged the moderating pace of the U.S. economic recovery; U.S. GDP grew at an annualized rate of only 4% in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with over 33% in the third quarter. The ECB also maintained its monetary policy in January 2021, announcing that it expected a demand-driven rebound in economic activity later in the year. Nonetheless, figures released for January 2021 showed that prices in the region had risen for the first time in five months. February 2021 saw a selloff in bonds across the globe, as investors became more concerned about the potential inflationary effects of a strong worldwide economic recovery from effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This sentiment was fueled by vaccine rollout, pent-up demand and ongoing stimulus, notably the proposal of a US$1.9 trillion stimulus package by President Biden’s administration. In Europe, amid mixed economic data, and with rising yields threatening to thwart any recovery from the region’s doldrums, the ECB indicated it would be prepared to ramp up its emergency bond purchases. This it subsequently did in March 2021, a month in which the Fed maintained its policies

and stressed that it would need to see actual progress toward full employment and price stability before considering monetary tightening.

Against this backdrop, benchmark U.S. Treasury yields rose over the second half of 2020, although they were down around 100 basis points for 2020 as a whole. They remained on an upward trajectory throughout the first quarter of 2021, spiking in the widespread bond market selloff in February 2021, and ending the review period at their highest level in 12 months. Meanwhile, yields on benchmark German Bunds rebounded slightly in the second quarter of 2020, but then fell steadily to finish 2020 lower than 12 months earlier. However, in the first quarter of 2021, European bond yields rose sharply, with benchmark German Bund yields reaching levels not seen since early June 2020. Even so, they remained within negative territory at the end of the period under review.

We are research driven, fundamental investors who rely on our team of analysts to provide in-depth industry expertise and use qualitative and quantitative analysis to evaluate companies. As bottom-up investors, we focus primarily on individual securities but consider sectors when choosing investments. In selecting securities, we do not rely principally on the ratings assigned by rating agencies, but perform our own independent investment analysis to evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuer. We consider a variety of factors, including the issuer’s experience and managerial strength, its sensitivity to economic conditions, and its current and prospective financial condition.

Manager’s Discussion

As financial market recovery started in April 2020 amid unprecedented fiscal and monetary measures by central banks and governments, continued low yields across the U.S. Treasury curve along with low or negative government bond yields globally supported demand for high yield (HY) corporate bonds throughout much of 2020. While the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) support for the HY market, in the form of direct and indirect purchases of HY corporate securities by the Fed’s Secondary Market Corporate Facility were modest, the perceived support had buoyed the HY market in general, leading to persistent favorable conditions for HY corporate bonds. Despite bouts of risk-off sentiment driven largely by factors such as a resurgence in global novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, and the political impasse regarding additional fiscal stimulus in the months leading up to the U.S. presidential election, HY performance held firm.

Following the U.S. presidential election, strong HY market performance persisted, and market sentiment remained generally positive until year-end. As financial markets settled into 2021, amid a stronger than expected U.S. economic recovery along with unprecedented fiscal stimulus (such as the recent $1.9 trillion fiscus stimulus bill and a potential multi-trillion infrastructure package), investor concerns regarding possible future inflation (which was still dormant three months ago) are now in full swing. U.S. Treasury yields surged during the first quarter of 2021 as investors began to assess more closely the implications of unparalleled fiscal stimulus, an accommodative Fed and an economy poised for further rebound as increasing COVID-19 vaccine uptake paves the way for reopening businesses.

Based on benchmark index data, HY spreads generally tightened during the 12-month period under review. Most segments of the HY market posted positive absolute returns for the performance period. CCC rated bonds returned 33.33%, compared to returns of 22.44% and 21.59% for BB and B rated segments, respectively. From an industry standpoint, energy stood out as a key performer. Other sectors that had also staged robust performances included gaming and leisure, transportation and retail.

During a period of robust performance as the high yield market rebounded from the depths of the COVID-19-induced selloff in the first quarter of 2020, the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark and performed in-line with its Morningstar high yield category average.

Security selection was the main contributor to performance, as is befitting our fundamentally driven investment process.

In particular, Fund performance benefited from security selection in the energy, industrial, health care and metals and mining industries. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning also benefited results.

Offsetting the favorable security selection was an industry allocation that had overweighted exposure to defensive sectors such as packaging and utilities, and underweighted exposure to some of the cyclical industries that benefited more fully from the economic recovery such as energy and metals and mining. In addition, our higher quality bias, which had a large positive impact on results in the first quarter of 2020, turned into a hindrance as CCC rated bonds outperformed during the fiscal year. This headwind was partially mitigated by our underweighted exposure to BB rated credits, as those generated the lowest returns of the rating categories.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY HIGH YIELD CORPORATE ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance tables do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (6/1/18), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Distributions to shareholders may decline when prevailing interest rates fall or when the Fund experiences defaults on debt securities it holds. The high-yield corporate debt securities and instruments in which the Fund invests tend to be rated below investment grade. Investing in higher-yielding, lower-rated corporate debt securities and instruments involves greater risk of default, which could result in loss of principal—a risk that may be heightened in a slowing economy. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The markets for particular securities or types of securities are or may become relatively illiquid. Reduced liquidity will have an adverse impact on the security’s value and on the Fund’s ability to sell such securities when necessary to meet the Fund’s liquidity needs or in response to a specific market event. Investing in derivative securities and the use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the Fund. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $ 7.50, then 8.6 × $ 7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, information under the heading “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different ETFs. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your total costs would have been higher.

Franklin Liberty International Aggregate Bond ETF

This annual report for Franklin Liberty International Aggregate Bond ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks total investment return, consistent with prudent investing, consisting of a combination of interest income and capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds and investments that provide exposure to bonds.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +0.68% based on market price and +0.72% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond ex-USD Index (100% Hedged to USD), posted a +1.45% total return.¹ You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 13.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests predominantly in fixed and floating-rate bonds issued by governments, government agencies and governmental-related or corporate issuers located outside the U.S. The Fund may also invest in securities or structured products that are linked to or derive their value from another security, asset or currency of any nation. In addition, the Fund’s assets are invested in issuers located in at least three countries (excluding the U.S.).

The Fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity or duration, and the average maturity or duration of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate depending on the investment manager’s outlook on changing market, economic and political conditions.

The Fund is a “non-diversified” fund, which means it generally invests a greater portion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and invests overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

When choosing investments for the Fund, we allocate the Fund’s assets based upon our assessment of changing market, political and economic conditions. We consider various factors, including evaluation of interest rates, currency exchange rate changes and credit risks. We may consider selling a security when we believe the security has become fully valued due to either its price appreciation or changes in the issuer’s fundamentals, or when we believe another security is a more attractive investment opportunity.

We seek to hedge substantially all of the Fund’s foreign currency exposure using currency related derivatives, including currency and cross currency forwards and currency futures contracts. We expect to maintain extensive positions in currency related derivative instruments as a hedging technique or to implement a currency investment strategy, which exposes a large amount of the Fund’s assets to obligations under these instruments. The results of such transactions may represent, from time to time, a large component of the Fund’s investment returns. The use of these derivative transactions may allow the fund to obtain net long or net negative (short) exposure to selected currencies. The Fund may also enter into various other transactions involving derivatives, including interest rate/bond futures contracts and interest rate swap agreements. These derivative instruments may be

used for hedging purposes. Derivatives that provide exposure to bonds may be used to satisfy the Fund’s 80% policy.

Manager’s Discussion

The Fund’s sector allocation and security selection detracted from relative returns. In government bonds, overweighted exposure to German Bunds and positioning in Italian sovereign debt hurt relative results. In the corporate space, positioning in investment-grade industrial and financial bonds also hampered returns.

In contrast, the Fund’s local market allocation contributed to relative returns, namely exposure to the eurozone, Chinese and U.K. markets.

The Fund’s duration and yield-curve positioning further helped relative results, mostly due to duration stances on eurozone and Japanese bonds. However, duration positioning in U.K. bonds hindered relative performance.

The Fund’s currency positioning also added to relative returns, largely owing to positioning in the onshore Chinese yuan, although this was largely countered by the negative impact of exposure to the offshore Chinese renminbi.

In terms of derivative use, foreign currency forwards were used in the portfolio to hedge foreign-currency-denominated holdings back into the portfolio’s base currency, the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the use of the forwards is generally risk reducing, both on an absolute basis and relative to the benchmark. However, for the period under review, derivatives use subtracted 449 basis points from the Fund’s relative performance, as the U.S. dollar fell against most other major currencies.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates and a rise in interest rates may cause the Fund’s share price to decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities involve certain risks including economic and political uncertainties. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small size and lesser liquidity. Investing in derivative securities and the use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks including counterparty risk, and as such may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the Fund. While the Fund’s currency hedging approach is designed to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on Fund returns, it does not necessarily eliminate the Fund’s exposure to the currencies. The return of the currency related derivatives will not perfectly offset the actual fluctuations between the currencies and the U.S. dollar. The Fund’s exposure to the currencies may not be hedged at all times. Sovereign debt securities are subject to various risks in addition to those relating to debt securities and foreign securities generally, including, but not limited to, the risk that a governmental entity may be unwilling or unable to pay interest and repay principal on its sovereign debt, or otherwise meet its obligations. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Franklin Liberty Senior Loan ETF

This annual report for Franklin Liberty Senior Loan ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income. A secondary goal is preservation of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in senior loans and investments that provide exposure to senior loans.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of +13.64% based on market price and +11.91% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index, posted a +15.28% total return for the same period.¹ You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 19.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests predominantly in income-producing senior floating interest rate corporate loans made to or issued by U.S. companies, non-U.S. entities and U.S. subsidiaries of non-U.S. entities. Floating interest rates vary with and are periodically adjusted to a generally recognized base interest rate such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Prime Rate. The Fund may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings.

Senior loans generally have credit ratings below investment grade and may be subject to restrictions on resale. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its net assets in senior loans that are rated B- or higher at the time of purchase by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, are determined to be of

comparable quality by the Fund’s investment manager. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in senior loans that are rated below B- by an NRSRO or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the investment manager.

Manager’s Discussion

During the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021, the loan market extended its rally following severe risk-off sentiment in the previous 12-month review period that ended on March 31, 2020, as fiscal and monetary support improved investor sentiment. Technical conditions in the loan market strengthened, driven by a meaningful resurgence in collateralized loan obligation issuance combined with more moderate retail fund outflows. While the market experienced periodic bouts of volatility prior to the U.S. presidential election and amid rising novel coronavirus cases, loan prices rallied as election uncertainty dissipated and due to news of positive developments on the vaccine front. Inflows into loan retail vehicles grew as more investors looked to the asset class in response to rising Treasury yields and potential inflation. Amid strong demand from investors, new issuance picked up and deals to finance acquisitions increased. As supply and demand became increasingly imbalanced, arrangers launched more repricing deals to reduce spreads on existing loans, after those deals were largely absent from the market for most of 2020. Over the course of the period, the more favorable environment supported stronger demand for lower-rated loans trading at deeper discounts to par.

During the period, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index. While the Fund outperformed its index in the prior 12-month review period ended March 31, 2020, amid dislocation in the market,

loans in the benchmark that had previously experienced more severe declines eventually saw more significant rebounds in the period under review ended March 31, 2021. The portfolio’s overweighted position in higher-rated loans at the beginning of the period ended March 31, 2021, led to underperformance, as the upper tier of the benchmark (including BB-rated loans) returned +9.47%, while the middle tier (B-rated loans) returned +16.76% and the lower tier (CCC-rated loans) returned +30.34% during the year. As the period ended March 31, 2021, progressed, the Fund shifted its allocation toward middle-tier loans due to a more favorable outlook on credit. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund had approximately 15% of its portfolio in upper-tier loans and 76% in middle-tier loans, compared to the benchmark, which had 37% in the upper tier and 61% in the middle tier.

Among individual issuers, the top contributors to performance versus the benchmark were issuers that had declined in the previous review period and rebounded sharply. The term loan and secured bond of Diamond Sports Group (an operator of regional sports networks) traded higher as the company reported better than expected results and amid an improved outlook regarding potential future liability management actions. EG America (a fuel and convenience store retailer) also contributed to performance compared to the benchmark as the company benefited from a rebound in travel. However, the Fund’s lack of exposure to a handful of larger, deeply discounted securities detracted from relative performance. The largest detractors from relative performance included Envision Health (a provider of health care services) and Scientific Games (a provider of gambling products), which both rallied during the review period and contributed to index returns.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Investors should be aware that the Fund’s share price and yield will fluctuate with market conditions. The senior loans and debt securities in which the Fund invests tend to be rated below investment grade. Investing in higher-yielding, lower-rated, senior loans and debt securities involves greater risk of default, which could result in loss of principal—a risk that may be heightened in a slowing economy. Interest earned on senior loans varies with changes in prevailing interest rates. Therefore, while senior loans offer higher interest income when interest rates rise, they will also generate less income when interest rates decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond’s credit rating may affect its value. The markets for particular securities or types of securities are or may become relatively illiquid. Reduced liquidity will have an adverse impact on the security’s value and on the Fund’s ability to sell such securities when necessary to meet the Fund’s liquidity needs or in response to a specific market event. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Franklin Liberty Systematic Style Premia ETF

This annual report for Franklin Liberty Systematic Style Premia ETF covers the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Your Fund’s Goal and Main Investments

The Fund seeks to provide absolute return. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by allocating its assets across two underlying alternative investment strategies, which represent top-down and bottom-up approaches to capturing factor-based risk premia. The strategies consist of a top-down risk premia strategy and a bottom-up long/short equity strategy.

Performance Overview

During the 12-month period, the Fund posted cumulative total returns of -8.52% based on market price and -8.70% based on net asset value (NAV). In comparison, the ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index posted a +0.12% total return for the same period.¹ You can find more of the Fund’s performance data in the Performance Summary beginning on page 26.

Investment Strategy

The Fund’s top-down risk premia strategy focuses on value, momentum and carry factors in taking both long and short positions across equity, fixed income, commodity and currency asset classes.

The Fund’s bottom-up long/short equity strategy focuses on quality, value and momentum factors in determining whether to hold long or short positions in individual equity securities. Long/short equity strategies generally seek to produce returns from investments in the equity markets by taking long and short positions in stocks and stock indices (through the use of derivatives or through a short position in an exchange-traded fund). Long positions benefit from an increase in the price of the underlying instrument, while short positions benefit from a decrease in that price.


Portfolio Composition

3/31/21

	% of Total Net Assets
Common Stocks		73.9%
Other Net Assets		26.1%

Under normal market conditions, the top-down risk premia strategy invests primarily in equity, interest rate/bond and commodity index futures; equity and commodity-linked total return swaps; and currency forwards. Under normal market conditions, the bottom-up long/short equity strategy invests primarily in equity securities and equity total return swaps, with equity total return swaps being used to obtain short exposures.

Under normal market conditions, we seek to allocate assets between the two factor-based risk premia alternative investment strategies described above according to each strategy’s estimated risk, as measured by historical returns based risk models. The allocation to each strategy is driven by the estimated risk contribution of each individual strategy to the Fund’s overall investment strategy, which the investment manager seeks to keep within certain pre-determined bounds.

Through the two strategies, we invest the Fund’s assets based on a systematic investment process for securities selection and asset allocation by utilizing quantitative trading models. By employing these two approaches, we seek to provide positive absolute return over time while maintaining a relatively low correlation with traditional markets. The exposure to individual factors may vary based on the market opportunity of the individual factors.

The Fund may use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging (investment) purposes. The Fund’s derivative investments may include, among other instruments: (i) futures contracts, including futures on equity, interest rate/bond and commodity indices; (ii) swaps, including equity and commodity-linked total return swaps; and (iii) currency forward contracts. These derivatives may be used to enhance Fund returns, increase liquidity, gain long or short exposure to certain instruments, markets or factors in a more efficient or less expensive way and/or hedge risks associated with its other portfolio investments. The results of such transactions

Manager’s Discussion

The Fund’s net asset value was down six basis points in the first quarter of 2021. We increased risk in our macro strategies (foreign currencies, equity indices, rates and commodities) based on our proprietary risk indicator. The decline in equity markets volatility during the period, as reflected by the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s Volatility Index, led us to increase risk in our long/short equity strategy as well.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Fund’s macro strategies detracted from performance and our long/short equities contributed in similar magnitudes to results, resulting in flat performance.

The Fund’s foreign currency macro strategies had positive results in the first quarter of 2021. Although our long positions in the Turkish Lira and Brazilian Real owing to our foreign currency carry and value factors hurt Fund results, our short positions in the Israeli shekel and Swiss franc helped us with net positive spread in the first quarter of 2021.

Our equity indices macro strategies also had a positive first quarter of 2021. Our equity carry strategy had strong results based on our long positions in Canada, Italy and South Africa versus our short positions in Germany and India.

The Fund’s fixed income macro strategies had a negative first quarter of 2021 and was a significant detractor, especially in the month of February. Our long positions in U.S. Treasuries, Gilts and Canada detracted more from performance than the positive contribution from our short positions in French and German Bunds. We incorporated time-series momentum in March as we rebalanced to soften the impact from the rising rate environment that we have entered in the first quarter of 2021.

performance, but our commodity value and commodity momentum strategies detracted from results during the first quarter of 2021.

In our long/short single stock equities strategy, the quality and value factors contributed to performance, and the momentum factor detracted. Our long positions in lower volatility stocks and short positions in higher volatility stocks detracted from returns. In capital terms, the portfolio was net long, and this contributed significantly more to returns than the detraction from our low volatility positioning.

FRANKLIN LIBERTY SYSTEMATIC STYLE PREMIA ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses. Total returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. The performance tables do not reflect any taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends, capital gain distributions, if any, or any realized gains on the sale of Fund shares.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (12/20/19), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. The Fund is actively managed and could experience losses if the manager’s judgment about particular investments, or its evaluation of the risks, potential returns and correlation properties of the various risk premia in which the Fund invests, prove to be incorrect. The manager’s allocation of Fund assets among different strategies, asset classes and investments may not prove beneficial or produce the desired results. Trading models used by the manager for securities selection and asset allocation may become outdated and the historical patterns upon which the models are based may weaken or disappear. There can be no assurance that the factor-based risk premia investment strategies utilized by the manager will enhance Fund performance, reduce volatility or reduce potential loss. Investments in derivatives involve costs and create economic leverage, which may result in significant volatility and cause the Fund to participate in losses (as well as gains) that significantly exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Investing in derivatives and the use of foreign currency techniques involve special risks and may not achieve the anticipated benefits and/or may result in losses to the Fund. Other risks include illiquidity, mispricing or improper valuation of the derivative, and imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument. The Fund may realize losses when a counterparty fails to perform as promised. Currency management strategies could result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as the manager expects. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. As the prices of bonds in the Fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the Fund’s share price may decline. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or in a security’s credit rating may affect its value. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they’ve been valued. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments; investments in emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors. To the extent the Fund focuses particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, it may be subject to greater risks or adverse developments in such areas of focus than a Fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries or sectors or investments. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $ 7.50, then 8.6 × $ 7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, information under the heading “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different ETFs. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your total costs would have been higher.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Franklin Templeton ETF Trust (Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company, consisting of forty-five separate funds, four of which are included in this report (Funds) and applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Each of the Funds are an exchange traded fund (ETF) and are actively managed, thus they are not designed to track an index. The Trust began offering shares of Franklin Liberty High Yield Corporate ETF, Franklin Liberty International Aggregate Bond ETF, Franklin Liberty Senior Loan ETF and Franklin Liberty Systematic Style Premia ETF.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies.

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds’ investments in financial instruments are carried at fair value daily. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Funds calculate the net asset value (NAV) per share as of 4 p.m. Eastern time each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) open for trading. Under compliance policies and procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Funds’ administrator has responsibility for oversight of valuation, including leading the cross-functional Valuation Committee (VC). The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Securities denominated in a foreign currency are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. Eastern time on the date that the values of the foreign debt securities are determined.

b. Foreign Currency Translation

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

to changes in market factors, and require or permit net settlement. Derivatives contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and/or the potential for market movements which expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain and loss and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on these contracts for the period are included in the Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)

notional amount of the credit default swap contract from the seller in exchange for the referenced debt obligation, a net settlement amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the referenced debt obligation, or other agreed upon amount. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable. Over the term of the contract, the buyer pays the seller a periodic stream of payments, provided that no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the payments are made, at which time they are realized. Upfront payments and receipts are reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent compensating factors between stated terms of the credit default swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads and other relevant factors). These upfront payments and receipts are amortized over the term of the contract as a realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.

Certain or all Funds entered into exchange traded futures contracts primarily to manage and/or gain exposure to equity price risk. A futures contract is an agreement between the

Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. Required initial margins are pledged by the Fund, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

See Note 10 regarding other derivative information.

d. Securities Purchased on a Delayed Delivery Basis

e. Senior Floating Rate Interests

Certain or all Funds invest in senior secured corporate loans that pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are generally the prime rate offered by a designated U.S. bank or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Senior secured corporate loans often require prepayment of principal from excess cash flows or at the discretion of the borrower. As a result, actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity. Senior secured corporate loans in which the Funds invest are generally readily marketable, but may be subject to certain restrictions on resale. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced its intention to cease sustaining LIBOR after 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the Fund’s investments that use or may use a floating rate based on LIBOR cannot yet be determined.

f. Income and Deferred Taxes

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxation related to income received, capital gains on the sale of securities and



franklintempleton.com	Annual Report	73

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON ETF TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

f. Income and Deferred Taxes (continued)

certain foreign currency transactions in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Funds invest. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, certain or all Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

g. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities are included in interest income. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable earnings are determined according to income tax regulations (tax basis) and may differ from earnings recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences are not reclassified, as they may reverse in subsequent periods.

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of net assets of each Fund to the combined net assets of the Trust. Certain Fund specific expenses are allocated directly to the Fund that incurred the expense. These expenses are paid by the Fund or by investment manager, as applicable, according to the terms of the unified management fee agreement.

h. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and

13. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications

due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The ASU is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORT

Economic and Market Overview

U.S. equities, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s^® 500 Index, advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2021. Equities rose throughout the reporting period amid the U.S. recovery from the initial shock of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related restrictions. Better understanding of safety standards that could reduce transmission led many states to partially reopen in April and May 2020, boosting equities. Several significant rounds of stimulus, including direct payments to individuals and programs designed to keep employees on payroll, also supported stock prices. In November 2020, the development of several vaccines bolstered investor confidence, and the implementation of mass vaccination programs in early 2021 led to further gains, as U.S. equities reached an all-time high in March 2021.

The U.S. economy was severely impacted by the pandemic, as business closures and restrictions on gatherings disrupted everyday life. As a result, second-quarter 2020 gross domestic product (GDP) experienced a record annualized decline, and mass layoffs drove the unemployment rate to a peak of 14.8% in April.¹ However, economic conditions improved rapidly thereafter, with GDP rebounding at a record annualized pace in 2020’s third quarter and expanding more slowly in the fourth quarter. Similarly, the unemployment rate declined notably, reaching 6.0% in March 2021 as jobless claims fell and employment openings began to increase.¹

During the reporting period, the information technology (IT), consumer discretionary and communications services sectors contributed to absolute performance.

Communication services was boosted by online gaming services company Sea.

During the reporting period, no sectors detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance. The top individual detractors were online automobile market Vroom, food delivery service Doordash and online and retail pharmacy operator JD Health International.

FRANKLIN DISRUPTIVE COMMERCE ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (2/27/20), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Your Fund’s Expenses

Actual Fund Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in the columns under the heading “Actual.” In these columns the Fund’s actual return, which includes the effect of Fund expenses, is used to calculate the “Ending Account Value.” You can estimate the expenses you paid during the period by following these steps (of course, your account value and expenses will differ from those in this illustration): Divide your account value by $1,000 (if your account had an $8,600 value, then $8,600 ÷ $1,000 = 8.6). Then multiply the result by the number in the row under the headings “Actual” and “Expenses Paid During Period” (if Actual Expenses Paid During Period were $7.50, then 8.6 × $7.50 = $64.50). In this illustration, the actual expenses paid this period are $64.50.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison with Other Funds

Please note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, information under the heading “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare total costs of owning different ETFs. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your total costs would have been higher.

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Total return reflects reinvestment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and any unrealized gains or losses.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated.

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. The Fund’s investment strategies incorporate the identification of thematic investment opportunities and its performance may be negatively impacted if the investment manager does not correctly identify such opportunities or if the theme develops in an unexpected manner. By focusing its investments in information technology related industries, the Fund carries much greater risks of adverse developments and price movements in such industries than a Fund that invests in a wider variety of industries. Companies operating within information technology related industries may be affected by worldwide technological developments, the success of their products and services (which may be outdated quickly), anticipated products or services that are delayed or cancelled, and investor perception of the company and/or its products or services. These companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. They may also have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be able to successfully protect their intellectual property to prevent the misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies’ technology. These companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful. Technology companies are also potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse impact on the performance of these companies. In addition, companies operating within the technology sector may develop and/or utilize artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop and/or utilize this technology. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. The customers and/or suppliers of technology companies may be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry. Any adverse event affecting one of these countries, regions or industries could have a negative impact on these companies. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest in a relatively small number of issuers and, as a result, be subject to greater risk of loss with respect to its portfolio securities. Events such as the spread of deadly diseases, disasters, and financial, political or social disruptions, may heighten risks and adversely affect performance. The Fund’s prospectus also includes a description of the main investment risks.

ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.

Investment Strategy

We use fundamental, bottom-up research analysis to identify companies positioned to capitalize on disruptive innovation or are enabling the further development of the genomic advancements theme in the markets in which they operate. We evaluate market segments, products, services and business models positioned to benefit significantly from advancements in genomics relative to broad securities markets, and seek to identify the primary beneficiaries of new trends or developments in genomics. We may invest in companies in any economic sector or of any market capitalization and may invest in companies both inside and outside of the U.S. Although we search for investments across a large number of sectors, we expect to concentrate our investments in health care-related industries.

Manager’s Discussion

During the reporting period, the health care sector supported absolute performance. Within the sector, contributors included genome-editing biopharmaceuticals company Intellia Therapeutics, biopharmaceutical development technology platform company WuXi Biologics (Cayman) and consumer digital health platform provider Livongo Health. Genome-editing technology firm CRISPR Therapeutics and genetic testing company Natera also contributed. The information technology sector helped absolute results to a lesser extent, and there were no companies from the sector among the Fund’s top 10 contributors.

No other sectors were represented in the Fund. Individual holdings that detracted from absolute results included rare disease technology platform developer Invitae, prescription drug price data company GoodRx Holdings and biosimulation software provider Certara.

Thank you for your participation in Franklin Genomic Advancements ETF. We look forward to serving your future investment needs.

FRANKLIN GENOMIC ADVANCEMENTS ETF

Performance Summary as of March 31, 2021

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (Market Price) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (2/27/20), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Franklin Exponential Data ETF Fund commenced operations on January 12, 2021.

The following summarizes the Funds’ significant accounting policies

a. Financial Instrument Valuation

The Funds may utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

Equity securities listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official closing price of the day, respectively. Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the foreign stock exchange on which the security is primarily traded or as of 4 p.m. Eastern time. The value is then converted into its U.S. dollar equivalent at the foreign exchange rate in effect at 4 p.m. London time on the day that the value of the security is determined. Over-the-counter (OTC) securities are valued within the range of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Securities that trade in multiple markets or on multiple exchanges are valued according to the broadest and most representative market. Certain equity securities are valued based upon fundamental characteristics or relationships to similar securities.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV.

f. Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified by the Trust against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

In considering the approval of the Management Agreement, the Board reviewed and considered information provided by the Manager at the Meeting and throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. The Board reviewed and considered all of the factors it deemed relevant in approving the Management Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Manager; (ii) the costs of the services to be provided by the Manager; and (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows. The Board also reviewed and considered the form of Management Agreement and the terms of the Management Agreement which were explained at the Meeting, noting that the form of Management Agreement was substantially the same as the standard forms of investment management agreement (that include administration services) for the other funds in the Franklin Templeton (FT) family of funds, including other series of the Trust.

In approving the Management Agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the terms of the proposed Management Agreement are fair and reasonable and that such Management Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some primary factors relevant to the Board’s determination.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of investment management services to be provided by the Manager and its affiliates to

the Fund and its shareholders. This information included, among other things, the Fund’s proposed investment strategies and the ability of the Manager to implement such investment strategies; the qualifications, background and experience of the investment personnel that will be responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund; the Manager’s experience as the manager of other funds and accounts, including other series of the Trust and other funds in the FT family of funds; the Manager’s strength and reputation within the industry; the personnel, operations, financial condition, and investment management capabilities, methodologies and resources of the Manager; and the Manager’s compliance capabilities, as demonstrated by, among other things, its policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Federal Securities Laws (as defined in Rule 38a-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940). Following consideration of such information, the Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Manager and its affiliates to the Fund and its shareholders.

Fund Performance

The Board noted that, as the Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, there was no investment performance for the Fund. The Board also considered the proposed performance benchmark for the Fund and how such benchmark would be utilized to measure performance of the Manager.

Comparative Fees and Expenses

The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the Fund’s proposed total expense ratio and its various components, including, as applicable, management fees; transfer agent expenses; underlying fund expenses; Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees; and other non-management fees. The Board considered the proposed total expense ratio and, separately, the proposed contractual management fee rate, without the effect of fee waivers, if any (Management Rate) of the Fund in comparison to the median expense ratio and median Management Rate, respectively, of other exchange-traded funds deemed comparable to and with a similar expense structure as the Fund (Expense Group) as selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent organization. Broadridge fee and expense data is based upon information taken from each fund’s most recent annual report (excluding the Fund), which reflects historical asset levels that may be quite different from those currently existing, particularly in a period of market volatility. While recognizing such inherent limitation and the fact that expense ratios and Management Rates generally increase as assets decline and decrease as assets grow, the Board

believed the independent analysis conducted by Broadridge to be an appropriate measure of comparative fees and expenses. The Broadridge Management Rate includes administrative charges. The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the exchange-traded funds included in an Expense Group.

The Expense Group for the Fund was comprised of actively managed exchange-traded funds, which included the Fund, three other science & technology funds, and one financial services fund. The Board noted that the proposed Management Rate and estimated total expense ratio were below the medians of its Expense Group. The Board concluded that the Management Rate to be charged to the Fund is reasonable. In doing so, the Board noted the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio reflected a fee waiver from management.

Profitability

The Board then noted that the Manager (and its affiliates) could not report any financial results from their relationships with the Fund because the Fund has not yet commenced investment operations, and thus, the Board could not evaluate the Manager’s (or its affiliates’) profitability with respect to the Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Board reviewed and considered the extent to which the Manager may realize economies of scale, if any, as the Fund grows larger and whether the Fund’s management fee structure reflects any economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. With respect to possible economies of scale in the future, the Board noted that it is not anticipated that the Fund will generate significant, if any, profit for the Manager and/or its affiliates for some time.

Conclusion

Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board unanimously approved the Management Agreement for the Fund for an initial two-year period.
