Franklin Resources

Franklin Resources is among the world’s largest Asset Management and Custody Banks sector businesses in the world.  Franklin Resources’s employees generate $1.621B in profits on $5.551B of revenue.  Global output in the Asset Management and Custody Banks business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Franklin Resources is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Asset Management and Custody Banks segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Franklin Resources’s ticker symbol BEN has recently been trading near $134.77 a share.  The Franklin Resources corporate headquarters in San Mateo CA predicts Asset Management and Custody Banks profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $33.643B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 1.23, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves higher, Franklin Resources moves more aggressively.
