Franklin Templeton has selected IMTC for separately managed accounts (SMA) management.

“Over the next few years, we anticipate significant growth in the SMA space and we’re excited to scale operations to fully capitalise on this promising opportunity,” said Michael Salm, senior vice president of fixed income at the firm.

As of January 2025, the investment management firm held US$1.58 trillion in assets under management.

IMTC’s end-to-end platform provides optimisation, allocation, compliance and order management functions. This will give Franklin Templeton the capability to further personalise services and improve tax optimisation for clients, it stated.
