About FNGZX
The Franklin International Growth Fund Advisor Class is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equity securities of mid- and large-capitalization companies outside the United States. Aimed at institutional investors, the fund predominantly targets firms demonstrating long-term growth potential across developed and select emerging markets, with exposures notably concentrated in the technology, industrials, healthcare, and financial services sectors. Managed by a seasoned team, the strategy is benchmarked against the MSCI EAFE Index and maintains a diversified portfolio, with the top holdings comprising approximately 40% of assets. The fund features an annual dividend payout schedule and a relatively low portfolio turnover rate, reflecting a long-term investment approach.
