[A recent filing from Franklin Templeton](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1655589/000168028917000029/ftetftrust485apos20170127.htm) outlines the firm’s intention to launch a trio of multifactor U.S. ETFs. The issuer’s lineup already includes developed-market, emerging market and global ETFs that target the quality, value, momentum and low-volatility factors.

The **Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Equity ETF** will track an index derived from the Russell 1000, while the **Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF** will track the Russell Midcap Index, which is a subset of the Russell 1000. The **Franklin LibertyQ U.S. Small Cap Equity ETF** will track the Russell 2000.

The three pending U.S. funds will focus on the same four factors as the international ETFs.

Assets invested in [Franklin Templeton ETFs](https://www.etf.com/topics/franklin-etf-trust-etfs) are approaching $550 million.

The filing did not include expense ratios, tickers or a listing exchange.
