  • Fund Description
  • Strategy & Benefits
  • Investment Philosophy, Strategy and Approach

Fund Description

The fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small and medium-sized companies, within the market capitalization ranges of the Russell 2500™ Index for small-sized companies and Russell Midcap® Index for medium-sized companies, at the time of purchase.

Strategy Statement

"We use a fundamental, bottom-up approach to investing in small and mid-cap companies that are leaders or emerging leaders in their industry and that meet our criteria of growth, quality and valuation."

Strategy & Benefits

Strategy

We use fundamental bottom-up research to find small- to mid-sized growth companies that are leaders or emerging leaders in their industry and that meet our criteria of:

 

  • Growth. Our team focuses on companies with the potential to produce sustainable earnings and cash-flow growth.
  • Quality. We seek high-quality companies with strong management teams and financial strength.
  • Valuation. We assess whether the growth opportunity is already reflected in the stock price.
Benefits
  • Small-mid strategy gives managers the flexibility to hold onto small, emerging businesses as they mature into successful mid-cap enterprises.
  • Tenured and experienced portfolio management team.
  • Distinct research structure. Investment professionals organized into collaborative sector teams.

Investment Philosophy, Strategy and Approach

Investment Philosophy

The Franklin Equity Group philosophy holds that companies with the potential for long-term sustainable growth can provide significant opportunities for investors. Market participants can have a short-term perspective and may under appreciate the potential for value created by sustainable growth. We believe that we have the potential to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns by identifying companies with potential for sustainable growth which we believe is not reflected in current prices.

Investment Process

Within a collaborative environment, our team utilizes fundamental, bottom-up research to focus on companies that we believe have sustainable growth characteristics—meeting our criteria of Growth, Quality and Valuation.

Our analysis includes an assessment of any material Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors on the long-term risk and return profile of a company.

Growth

  • Focus on companies with potential to produce sustainable earnings and cash flow growth
  • Evaluate the long-term market opportunity and competitive structure of the industry seeking to identify target leaders and emerging leaders

Quality

  • Seek companies with strong and improving competitive positions in attractive markets
  • Identify experienced and talented management teams as well as financial strength reflected in the capital structure, gross and operating margins, free cash flow generation, and returns on capital

Valuation

  • Consider a range of potential outcomes based on an assessment of multiple scenarios
  • Evaluate whether, in our view, security prices fully reflect the balance of the sustainable growth opportunities relative to the business and financial risks

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund’s capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund.

The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund.

Refer to the fund’s annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.

Risks

What Are the Risks?

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. Liquidity risk exists when securities or other investments become more difficult to sell, or are unable to be sold, at the price at which they have been valued. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
