About FRDRX

Franklin Rising Dividends Fund Class R is an actively managed mutual fund that primarily focuses on long-term capital appreciation by investing in U.S. companies with a track record of consistently rising dividend payments. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equity securities, chiefly common stocks, targeting firms across all market capitalizations that demonstrate financial strength and a commitment to increasing shareholder dividends over time. Its investment strategy emphasizes businesses that have displayed robust dividend growth, typically requiring companies to have increased their dividends in at least eight of the past ten years and avoided dividend cuts during that period. The fund tends to favor companies that reinvest earnings judiciously, paying out dividends while maintaining healthy retention for growth. Serving as part of the large blend category, it provides diversification across various sectors in the U.S. equity market and benchmarks its performance against indices such as the S&P 500. Franklin Rising Dividends Fund Class R is designed for investors seeking exposure to quality companies with steadily rising payouts, integrating both growth and income characteristics into its portfolio approach.
