INCM ETF

Franklin Income Focus ETF offers diversified income through a multi-asset approach, blending stocks, bonds, and preferreds for a 4.93% 30-day SEC yield. INCM's active management allows for flexible asset allocation, potentially outperforming in volatile markets, though it comes with a higher expense ratio of 0.38%. The fund's sector allocation includes substantial weightings in Tech, Financials, and Health Care, providing exposure to mature companies with steady dividends.

Franklin Income Focus ETF is a relatively new blended ETF offering from Franklin Templeton, which launched in June of last year. For investors who value a higher level of income but do not want to ignore opportunities for capital appreciation, INCM appears to provide a unique way to play the market. INCM's potential value lies in potential downside protection during market corrections as well as its flexibility to modify its investment allocations as market conditions change.

Franklin Income Focus ETF offers a flexible and active 60/40 portfolio allocation, with a blend benchmark of the S&P 500 Index and the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index. INCM has a composition that reflects a realistic allocation for retail investors, with a focus on fixed-income and high-yield bonds. The 'Fixed Income' bucket currently sits at 60.8%. On the equity side, the highest allocation is to information technology, followed by financials and consumer staples. The trailing P/E for the equities sleeve is 17x.
