About FRVFX

Franklin Small Cap Value Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term total return through investments primarily in small-capitalization companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to small-cap equities, identifying businesses considered undervalued at the time of purchase with the potential for capital appreciation. This value-driven approach seeks out companies trading below their intrinsic worth, often due to factors such as cyclical challenges, temporary setbacks, or diminished market expectations. The portfolio may also include real estate investment trusts (REITs) and, at times, up to 25% of total assets in foreign securities to enhance diversification. The fund often holds significant positions in sectors like financial services, industrials, consumer discretionary, and technology. Managed by an experienced investment team, the fund’s strategy emphasizes conservative relative-value principles, seeking risk-adjusted returns for investors interested in the small-cap segment of the market and aiming to benefit from the long-term growth potential of undervalued U.S. companies.
