Franklin Templeton Plans Trump Account Match for Eligible Employees’ Children

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Franklin Templeton, a global investment leader, today announced that it plans to match the U.S. government’s one-time $1,000 contribution to Trump Accounts for eligible children of eligible U.S. employees.

Trump Accounts, also known as Section 530A accounts, are a new federal savings vehicle designed to help families begin investing for children from an early age. The U.S. government is expected to provide a one-time $1,000 contribution to accounts opened for eligible children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028.

The planned matching contribution reflects Franklin Templeton’s broader commitment to supporting employees and their families, while helping promote financial wellness, early savings and long-term financial security.

“At Franklin Templeton, we believe long-term financial security begins with access, education and the opportunity to start saving early,” said Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton. “By matching the government’s contribution to Trump Accounts for eligible children of our U.S. employees, we are helping families take an important first step toward building a financial foundation for the next generation.”

Additional details, including eligibility requirements, timing and enrollment information, will be shared with employees as federal guidance and operational implementation details are finalized.

To help families learn more, Franklin Templeton has published an educational article on Trump Accounts and how they compare with other savings options for minors.
