Description: BEN Franklin Resources October 31, 2025

Franklin Resources, Inc. (NYSE: BEN) is a publicly traded asset-management holding company that distributes equity, fixed-income, balanced and multi-asset mutual funds through its subsidiaries to a broad client base that includes individuals, institutions, pension plans, trusts and partnerships. Founded in 1947, the firm operates globally with offices across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Key metrics as of the latest filing show roughly $1.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM), with a 6 % year-over-year increase driven primarily by net inflows into its actively managed equity and alternative strategies. Revenue growth is closely tied to market performance and fee structures; the current fee-compression trend in the asset-management sector, accelerated by the shift toward low-cost passive products, remains a material headwind. Additionally, rising interest rates have boosted fixed-income yields, enhancing the profitability of BEN’s bond-focused funds.
