About FMQSX
Franklin Mutual Quest Fund Class R is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving capital appreciation, with income as a secondary objective. It primarily invests in equity securities of both U.S. and international companies that are considered undervalued based on fundamental analysis. The fund targets stocks trading below their intrinsic value and often seeks out opportunities where company-specific changes, such as new management or strategic shifts, could unlock potential value. While its portfolio spans all company sizes, it places an emphasis on large- and mid-cap equities, and may also include holdings in smaller firms, merger arbitrage securities, and distressed assets. The fund is not concentrated in any one sector, but can increase exposure to certain industries when market conditions warrant. To manage risk, it regularly employs currency hedging strategies and may use derivatives to hedge market exposure. With a significant allocation to foreign securities, the Franklin Mutual Quest Fund Class R offers diversification across geographies and sectors, playing a key role for investors seeking value opportunities on a global scale.
