About LMSIX

Franklin U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-capitalization companies within the United States. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equity securities of small-cap firms, which are generally classified as companies that fall in the bottom 10% of the U.S. equity market by market capitalization. Its investment approach seeks diversification across various sectors, allowing for broad exposure to growth and value stocks that mirror the characteristics of the Russell 2000 Index, though the portfolio composition is not identical to the index itself. Managed by a team employing systematic and disciplined strategies, the fund aims to capture opportunities inherent in smaller, often less-followed businesses that may be poised for expansion. Franklin U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund Class I plays a significant role in the financial market by offering investors targeted access to the U.S. small-cap segment, which can contribute to portfolio diversification and potential for differentiated returns compared to large-cap equities.
