Managed by a seasoned team, the fund holds a concentrated portfolio where the top 10 holdings account for over a quarter of total assets. Franklin Small Cap Value Fund is well-regarded for its conservative relative-value strategy and has demonstrated a track record of favorable risk-adjusted performance over more than a decade.
