About FUFRX

Franklin Utilities Fund Class R6 is an open-end mutual fund specializing in investments in the public utilities sector. Its main objective is to pursue both capital appreciation and current income by allocating at least 80% of its net assets to securities issued by utility companies, with a primary emphasis on U.S. electricity and gas providers. The fund’s portfolio is predominantly composed of equity securities, especially common stocks, and maintains a significant concentration—over 25%—in the utilities industry. This targeted approach makes it a prominent player within the utilities category, offering exposure to a sector critical for providing essential services such as electricity, natural gas, water, and communications to the public. Managed by Franklin Templeton, the fund is designed for institutional investors, reflected in its high minimum investment and R6 share class structure. Its sizable asset base and disciplined sector concentration underscore its role as a specialized vehicle for investors seeking access to the utilities segment of the equity markets, with potential for both dividend income and long-term capital growth.
