About FILRX
Franklin International Growth Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund focused on generating long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of mid- and large-capitalization companies located outside of the United States. Targeting the foreign large growth category, the fund emphasizes companies with strong growth prospects in both developed markets—such as Japan, Britain, France, and Germany—and, to a lesser extent, in emerging markets, with up to 20% of assets permissible in those regions. The portfolio typically features a concentrated list of holdings, reflecting a high-conviction approach, and allocates nearly 40% of assets to its top 10 investments, spanning sectors like technology, healthcare, communication services, and basic materials. The fund is managed by Franklin Templeton Investments and maintains a competitive expense ratio, positioning it among the lower-cost options in its peer group. Designed for retirement-oriented investors seeking exposure to international equities, the Franklin International Growth Fund Class R6 plays a significant role in diversifying portfolios beyond U.S. markets and offers access to companies with strong earnings and revenue growth potential worldwide.
