About FMSHX
Franklin Mutual Shares Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund that primarily seeks capital appreciation, with a secondary goal of generating income. As part of the aggressive allocation category, the fund invests predominantly in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that are considered undervalued by the fund's investment managers. This approach emphasizes opportunities for long-term growth and may lead to above-average portfolio volatility, with equity allocations typically exceeding 85% of assets. The fund also provides income through semi-annual dividend distributions, reflecting both capital gains and portfolio yield. Managed by a team at Franklin Templeton, Franklin Mutual Shares Fund Class R6 is notable for its diversified, value-driven strategy and a minimum investment requirement that appeals to institutional investors. With a substantial asset base and a focus on identifying mispriced opportunities across global markets, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking a blend of capital appreciation and periodic income within their broader asset allocation strategies.
