Futu Securities (HK) to launch three risk-based model portfolios with Franklin Templeton
“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.”
Futu Securities International, the Hong Kong regulated operation of digital brokerage Futu, has partnered with asset manager Franklin Templeton to launch three risk-based model portfolios engineered by the latter.
The renewed partnership is aimed at supporting the further buildout of distinctive investment solutions on Futu’s digital platform for Hong Kong investors.
Futu has a reportedly high market penetration rate in Hong Kong SAR and 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 ever since that moment.

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.”
