Management

 

Franklin Advisory Services, LLC (Advisory Services), One Parker Plaza, Ninth Floor, Fort Lee, New Jersey 07024, is the Fund's investment manager. Together, Advisory Services and its affiliates manage as of January 31, 2014, over $857 billion in assets, and have been in the investment management business since 1947.

 

The investment manager is a research driven, fundamental investment adviser, pursuing a disciplined value-oriented strategy for the Fund. As a "bottom-up" investor concentrating primarily on individual securities, the investment manager will focus on the market price of a company's securities relative to its evaluation of the company's potential long-term earnings, asset value or cash flow. The investment manager seeks bargains among the "under researched and unloved," out of favor companies that offer, in the investment manager's opinion, attractive long-term potential such as current growth companies that are being ignored by the market, former growth companies that have stumbled recently, dropping sharply in price but that still have growth potential in the investment manager's opinion, and companies that are or may be potential turnaround candidates or takeover targets.

 

Each Fund is managed by a team of dedicated professionals focused on investments in equity securities. The portfolio managers have responsibility for the day-to-day management of particular Funds and operate as a team to develop ideas and implement investment strategy for all of the Funds.
