Mossman will lead U.S. Product across wealth and institutional channels, working with investment, sales, and product specialists to bring Franklin Templeton?s leading investment capabilities to clients across mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), separately managed accounts, and model portfolios. He brings extensive experience in product strategy, portfolio construction, the implementation of technology to scale portfolio management in client portfolios, and the broad use of model portfolios across wealth platforms.

In her new, elevated role as GCG Chief Operating Officer, Roy, who joined the firm in 1999, will lead Global Client Group teams to simplify how Franklin Templeton presents itself to clients, with an emphasis on speed to market and cross-functional alignment, while advancing the integration of global client data, customer relationship management (CRM), artificial intelligence, and client service capabilities to enable more proactive and efficient client engagement.
