Registrations support rising ETF adoption in Poland: Growing base of younger domestic investors and ETF trading reached all-time highs

Builds on Franklin Templeton’s ETF momentum, with ETFs becoming an increasing driver of broader asset growth

WARSAW – 26 March 2026 – Franklin Templeton¹ is pleased to announce the registration of 13 of its UCITS exchange traded funds (ETFs) on 26 March, marking the firm’s first ETFs registered for distribution in Poland.

The newly registered ETFs span core global equities, climate‑aligned strategies, single‑country exposures, thematic equities and fixed income, offering Polish investors access to Franklin Templeton’s broad ETF capabilities across asset classes and regions. This expansion reflects Franklin Templeton’s continued global momentum in ETFs and its strategic focus on markets where investor demand for transparent, flexible and outcome‑oriented solutions is accelerating.

Dan Muzzarelli, Global Head of ETF Distribution at Franklin Templeton, said: “The firm’s ETF offering has continued to gain momentum in recent years and has become a major contributor to the firm’s growth. As investors globally find value in ETFs for precise allocations across their portfolios, extending our UCITS ETF range into Poland is a natural step in how we scale distribution and meet local client demand with efficient, best in class solutions.”

Kamil Mikolajczak, Sales Manager Central and Eastern Europe, added: “In Poland, ETFs are increasingly accessed through local brokerage platforms by a growing base of retail investors, while institutions are also incorporating ETFs more systematically into portfolio construction. By registering this broader Franklin Templeton ETF range, we are supporting both segments through all available distribution channels, combining market access with the scale and consistency of a globally established ETF platform.”

Demand for ETF at all-time highs

Poland’s investor base continues to broaden, with online investing playing a growing role. The Warsaw Stock Exchange has reported a record number of brokerage accounts and highlighted increased engagement from younger domestic investors, alongside all-time highs in ETF trading activity. The market has also seen rising participation supported by digital-first distribution, with a significant share of accounts held through online channels⁴.

The registered ETFs are designed to support portfolio construction across multiple use cases, including:

Core global equity allocations, through developed and emerging market exposures
Climate‑aligned equity building blocks, supporting Paris‑aligned investment objectives
Targeted single‑country allocations, enabling regional and tactical positioning
Risk‑management and income tools, including short‑duration U.S. Treasuries and euro‑denominated green bonds
