FYI: (This is a follow-up article)
Franklin Templeton Investments is the latest in a string of big asset managers looking to carve out a beachhead in the battle for “smart beta” exchange-traded funds.

    Sigh. More investment 'vehicles' peddled to the public based on (emotional) marketplace 'demands' ....all these me-too funds remind me of the old saying about asset managers, "it;s not how much money your clients can collect from the market, it's how much money you can collect from your clients."

    I don't expect these things will be cheap to own (or buy) either. But that's just my guess.
