Franklin India Flexi Cap Fund aims to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing across large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks. The fund does not follow strict allocation limits, allowing it to shift across market caps depending on market conditions and opportunities. This flexibility makes it suitable for investors looking for diversified equity exposure through a single fund. The fund is managed by R. Janakiraman and Rajasa Kakulavarapu.
Franklin India Large Cap Fund primarily invests in bluechip companies, typically from the top 100 listed firms by market capitalisation. The fund focuses on relatively stable businesses with established track records, which may help reduce volatility compared to mid and small-cap funds. It is designed for investors seeking steady growth through large, fundamentally strong companies. The fund is managed by Ajay Argal and Venkatesh Sanjeevi.
Franklin India Mid Cap Fund aims to deliver capital appreciation by investing in medium-sized companies with strong growth potential. Mid-cap stocks can offer higher upside than large caps, but they may also be more volatile during market corrections. This fund is suited for investors with a long-term horizon who can tolerate moderate-to-high risk. The fund is managed by R. Janakiraman and Akhil Kalluri.
Franklin India Small Cap Fund focuses on smaller companies that are often in early or expanding stages of growth. These stocks can generate strong long-term returns if the companies scale up successfully, but they also carry higher risk and volatility. The fund may be suitable for aggressive investors looking to build long-term wealth. It is managed by R. Janakiraman and Akhil Kalluri.
Franklin India Multi Cap Fund is designed as a diversified equity fund with a mandated minimum allocation of 25% each in large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks. This structure ensures broad exposure across market segments, reducing dependence on any one market cap category. The fund aims to balance stability and growth by combining different risk-return profiles. It is managed by R. Janakiraman and Kiran Sebastian.
Franklin India Focused Equity Fund invests in a concentrated portfolio of up to 30 high-conviction stocks across market capitalisations. Since the portfolio is limited in size, individual stock selection plays a bigger role in overall performance. This strategy can deliver strong returns if the picks perform well, but it may also lead to sharper fluctuations. The fund is managed by Ajay Argal and Venkatesh Sanjeevi.
Franklin India Opportunities Fund follows a thematic approach by investing in “special situations” such as corporate restructuring, policy changes, business turnarounds, and unique market opportunities. The fund aims to capture value when companies go through temporary challenges but have long-term recovery potential. This strategy can perform well during specific market cycles, but returns may vary depending on how themes play out. The fund is managed by R. Janakiraman and Kiran Sebastian.
Franklin India ELSS Tax Saver Fund is an equity-linked savings scheme (ELSS) that provides tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. It comes with a mandatory lock-in period of three years, making it a long-term tax-saving investment option. The fund invests in diversified equities and aims for long-term capital growth along with tax efficiency. It is managed by R. Janakiraman and Rajasa Kakulavarapu.
Franklin U.S. Opportunities Equity Active FOF is a Fund of Funds that invests in the U.S.-based Franklin U.S. Opportunities Fund. This allows Indian investors to gain exposure to global companies, especially in technology, innovation, and growth-oriented sectors. Since the fund invests overseas, returns are influenced by both U.S. market performance and currency movements. The fund is managed by Sandeep Manam.
Franklin India Liquid Fund-Super aims to provide high liquidity and capital safety by investing in short-term debt instruments with maturities typically up to 91 days. It is commonly used for parking surplus funds for short durations while earning better returns than a savings account. The fund carries relatively low risk compared to equity funds, though it is not entirely risk-free. It is managed by Pallab Roy and Rohan Ma.
