About FSGRX
Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund Class A is a mutual fund dedicated to pursuing long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the equity securities of small-cap companies. The fund maintains a policy of allocating at least 80% of its net assets to small-cap stocks, with its portfolio typically composed of common shares belonging to businesses with lower market capitalizations. These companies span multiple sectors, including industrials, consumer defensive, technology, healthcare, and more, illustrating the fund’s broad approach within the small-cap growth category. Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund Class A is structured as a front-load share class and is known for a relatively low portfolio turnover, reflecting a focus on seeking sustainable growth over the long term rather than frequent trading. The fund is suitable for investors seeking exposure to emerging and potentially dynamic businesses within the U.S. equity market, and it plays a notable role in diversifying portfolios with an emphasis on growth opportunities among smaller companies.
