About FCFRX
Franklin Floating Rate Daily Access Fund Class C is a mutual fund specializing in the bank loan category, with the goal of providing a high level of current income. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in floating interest rate corporate loans and corporate debt securities, with a notable emphasis on senior-secured and below-investment-grade credit instruments. These floating rate instruments are designed to adjust interest payments based on short-term rate benchmarks such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or LIBOR, helping to mitigate interest rate risk typically associated with fixed-rate bonds. This fund appeals to investors seeking exposure to the corporate credit market while aiming for income that adjusts with interest rate fluctuations. The monthly income distributions are a key feature, and the fund typically holds a diversified portfolio spanning hundreds of individual loans and securities. While its holdings can carry more credit risk than investment-grade debt, the floating rate structure can provide resilience during periods of rising interest rates. Franklin Floating Rate Daily Access Fund Class C plays a significant role in offering diversified, actively managed access to the leveraged loan market within broader income-oriented investment strategies.
