About FRBSX
Franklin Mutual U.S. Mid Cap Value Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving a high total return through a blend of capital appreciation and income. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. mid-cap companies, targeting firms that demonstrate value characteristics—typically those regarded as undervalued by fundamental measures, such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. This approach is designed to capture growth opportunities within the often dynamic and diverse mid-cap segment while managing risk by seeking attractively priced companies. The portfolio is diversified across multiple sectors, including utilities, financial services, industrials, consumer defensive, real estate, and energy, with a notable portion of assets concentrated in the fund's top holdings. The fund employs a disciplined value-oriented strategy, seeking to invest in businesses with strong balance sheets and solid long-term prospects. Its role in the financial market is to offer investors access to mid-sized U.S. companies, balancing the growth potential of smaller firms with the stability often associated with larger enterprises. This makes the fund a key option for investors seeking diversified exposure to equities with an emphasis on value within the mid-cap space.
