Futu Securities and Franklin Templeton Join Forces for Risk-based Model Portfolios Launch

Futu Securities International (Hong Kong) Limited (Futu), a leading tech-driven digital brokerage and wealth management platform, together with global asset manager Franklin Templeton, will launch three risk-based model portfolios, engineered by the Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions group, with various risk levels to fulfill clients' investment needs and risk appetites.

Futu first rolled out its mutual fund business in 2019 to expand its client base and diversify its business. Franklin Templeton has worked closely with Futu to deliver a variety of investment solutions since the commencement of the arrangement two years ago.

Steve Zeng, Head of Global Strategy and Wealth Management at Futu Holdings Limited, said: "We are pleased to partner with Franklin Templeton, one of the largest asset managers globally, in introducing a suite of model portfolios which leverage Franklin Templeton's proven expertise in managing capital and risks to meet investor needs for returns at various risk levels. This collaboration is an example of how Futu endeavors to bring the most leading financial technology and highly competitive wealth management solutions to help its clients achieve their financial goals."

Simon Wong, Head of Retail Sales, Greater China, at Franklin Templeton said: "We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with Futu by being the first asset manager on the platform to support a suite of customized risk-based model portfolios, catering to different needs of investors in terms of investment targets and risk preferences. Franklin Templeton has a strong track record in model portfolios in the U.S. and we look to bring more specialized solutions to investors in Hong Kong."
