United States asset manager Franklin Templeton ($1.7 trillion AUM has launched Private Markets Model Portfolios (Developed with digital infrastructure platform Corastone) for advisors to efficiently manage private markets allocation in SMA-style (Separately Managed Account), single-subscription structure with lower minimum investment per fund, direct exposure to private market funds (Instead of pooled fund-of-funds) and to build diversified exposure to private markets. Franklin Templeton private markets platform include Lexington Partners (secondaries & co-investments), Clarion Partners (real estate), Benefit Street Partners (private credit) & Franklin Ventures (hedged strategies & digital asset). Announcement (11/5/26): “Franklin Templeton, a global investment leader, today announced the launch of its Private Markets Model Portfolios, developed in collaboration with Corastone, a digital infrastructure platform and permissioned blockchain network designed to streamline, automate, and scale private market investments. The Private Markets Model Portfolios are designed to help financial advisors more efficiently incorporate private market investments within a professionally managed portfolio framework. Franklin Templeton’s Private Markets Model Portfolios are designed to extend the model portfolio framework to private markets, offering diversified, multi-asset exposure within an SMA-style, single-subscription structure that lowers the minimum investment per fund and helps deliver a diversified exposure to private markets. The model portfolio framework combines Franklin Templeton’s global investment capabilities across public and private markets with technology enabled by Corastone’s infrastructure. The integrated solution is designed to streamline key operational aspects of private market investing — including subscription processing, rebalancing, portfolio administration, and ongoing management — while maintaining transparency and direct ownership of the underlying funds. Through the model portfolios, clients gain direct exposure to underlying private market funds rather than accessing them through pooled fund-of-funds structures, supporting enhanced transparency, more frequent rebalancing cycles, and flexibility within client portfolios, subject to applicable fund terms, liquidity provisions, and suitability considerations. Franklin Templeton offers a diversified private markets platform that brings together a range of specialized investment managers. This includes Lexington Partners, focused on private equity secondaries and co-investments; Clarion Partners, specializing in private real estate; and Benefit Street Partners, a leader in private credit. The platform is further complemented by Franklin Ventures, hedged strategies, and digital asset capabilities, providing investors with broad access across alternative asset classes.”
