About FRSIX
Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund designed to pursue long-term capital growth. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by small- and mid-capitalization companies, targeting firms that exhibit the potential for above-average growth. As a result, it offers exposure to a diverse mix of dynamic U.S. businesses that are often at earlier stages of their development or are established mid-tier players within their respective sectors.
Managed by Franklin Templeton, the fund screens and selects companies based on growth prospects, innovation, and market positioning, contributing to a portfolio typically composed of over 100 holdings. Its investment universe spans a variety of industries, including technology, healthcare, financial services, and consumer sectors, thus diversifying risk and opportunity. The fund’s role in the market centers on providing investors with access to the growth segment of small- and mid-cap equities—a space known for its higher growth potential relative to large-cap stocks, but also for increased volatility. Suitable for investors seeking capital appreciation through exposure to smaller, growth-oriented U.S. companies, Franklin Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund Class C plays a significant role in diversified equity strategies.
