About FCSGX
Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund Class C is a mutual fund specializing in small-cap U.S. equities. Its primary objective is long-term capital growth, achieved by investing at least 80% of its net assets in the common stocks of companies with market capitalizations below $1.5 billion or those within the upper threshold of the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. The fund is actively managed and seeks to identify high-potential, fast-growing companies usually positioned in emerging industries or in their early growth stages. This approach can lead to higher volatility, reflecting the inherent risk and opportunity associated with small-cap growth investing. The fund typically maintains a broad portfolio, with recent holdings spanning sectors such as technology, consumer goods, industrials, and healthcare. With assets totaling around $2.5 billion, Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund Class C serves investors seeking exposure to dynamic, innovative segments of the U.S. equity market, and plays a role in portfolio diversification by targeting companies that are often overlooked by large-cap funds.
