About FSSAX
The Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund Advisor Class is a diversified mutual fund designed to provide investors with long-term capital growth by focusing on small-cap U.S. companies. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the equity securities of these smaller firms, which generally have market capitalizations similar to those in the Russell 2000 Growth Index. As a growth-oriented portfolio, Franklin Small Cap Growth Fund Advisor Class targets businesses expected to achieve above-average earnings expansion, with a particular emphasis on innovative sectors such as technology, industrials, and healthcare. The fund is managed with a disciplined, research-driven approach, aiming to identify high-potential small-cap stocks before they are widely recognized by the broader market. With a well-balanced selection of holdings—typically over 100 stocks—the fund offers diversification within the small-cap segment, which can be attractive to investors seeking exposure to this higher-growth but higher-volatility asset class.
