About FRLAX
Franklin Real Estate Securities Fund Advisor Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on the real estate sector. Its principal aim is to maximize total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S.-based companies operating across the real estate industry, with a particular emphasis on real estate investment trusts (REITs) and firms significantly involved in ownership, construction, management, or development of commercial and residential properties. The fund incorporates both growth and value stocks spanning diverse market capitalizations, employing a blend of fundamental analysis and both bottom-up and top-down stock selection approaches. Notably, it also seeks out companies committed to responsible environmental practices. With a concentrated portfolio—its top ten holdings comprise over half of total assets—the fund provides targeted exposure to real estate equities, making it a significant player in the broader sector and a key vehicle for investors seeking to participate in real estate market movements through publicly traded securities.
